Social psychosis or cultural trauma is a term of medical knowledge and one of the new topics in the field of cultural sociology, which is used in the sense of individual and social psychological injuries. And at certain times, such as war and violence, etc., it dominates a society and makes the people of that community react in certain way. A study of Iranian society during and after the Arab invasion; That is, during their rule over Iran - which clearly led to the cultural, linguistic and identity violation of Iranians- It indicates that the Iranian society is suffering from psychosis, or cultural trauma, which has provoked numerous reactions, from armed struggle to cultural activities. Ferdowsi is one of the people who, with a conscious understanding of cultural trauma and knowledge of its treatment methods, took a step towards the revival of Iranian society. Therefore, the present article, in a descriptive-analytical manner and with an example, examines Ferdowsi's wise strategies in order to cure the psychological wounds of Iranian society. The results show that Ferdowsi has considered three specific strategies of thought, identity and language and has developed all three strategies simultaneously with the composition of Shahnameh and finally warned the Iranian audience throughout the ages that if a nation in order to survive, he must preserve his language, and in his opinion, preserving the language is equal to preserving his identity and everything that depends on it.
