On the Benefits of Magic. The Meaning and Significance of Fairy Tales
19.99 €
There is nothing more valuable in the formation of personality than fairy tales," says Bruno Bettelheim, a renowned American psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Passed on by word of mouth for centuries, they contain important messages for our psyche.
In this iconic book, Bettelheim takes a psychoanalytical look at both popular ("Snow White", "The Three Bears", "Bluebeard") and lesser-known fairy tales ("Jack and the Beanstalk", "The Frog Queen" or "The Enchanted Boar") and the most important human problems: growing up, separation from parents, sibling rivalry, overcoming anxieties, and realizing desires. The study not only offers an understanding of fairy tales as a form of entertainment, but also as a means of self-knowledge and self-development. The reader is given the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of himself and his relationships with others, as well as to learn how to solve life's problems and conflicts more effectively.
