Where Do Princesses Go? Stories of Troubled Female Identity in Fairy Tales and in Real Life
19.99 €
Gennady Maleichuk's new book explores the formation and transformation of female identity—from the fairytale archetype of the Princess to the real-life scenarios of modern women. The author examines why the image of the Princess, inherent in female identity, is often lost and the psychological mechanisms underlying this process.
The first, theoretical part analyzes in detail how the Princess identity is formed and the role significant Others—parents, loved ones, and the social environment—play in this process. It shows how messages, expectations, and the nature of relationships influence a woman's sense of self, her sense of self-worth, boundaries, desires, and the right to be herself. The psychological conditions that contribute to the preservation of a coherent identity are described, as well as the factors that lead to its distortion or loss.
The second, practical part presents a psychological analysis of the life stories of fairytale princesses (Nastenka, Alyonushka, Cinderella, Donkey Skin, Snow White, and Rapunzel) and real clients. By comparing fairy tales and real-life stories, typical scenarios, internal conflicts, and ways to resolve them are revealed.
This publication is intended for practicing psychologists, psychotherapists, and students of these fields, as well as anyone interested in psychology.
