Fairy Tale Therapy and Metaphor: The Art of Transformation. Monograph

When a fairy tale meets art, a miracle happens. And if psychology organizes this meeting, the miracle becomes real magic. This book is about such magic that arises in the amazing psychological direction — fairy tale therapy.
The fairy tale therapist, like an artist with a brushstroke, uses a particular metaphor that is needed “here and now” — specifically for this event, not for another. And the colors for his “fairy tale brush” are various meanings that fill the metaphor. The monograph not only examines various aspects of fairy tale therapy and metaphor in theoretical and practical contexts but also provides a detailed description of a number of authorial games and exercises based on fairy tales and metaphors.
The book may be of interest to both specialists studying the psychological features of fairy tales and metaphors (researchers, graduate students, master's students) and to practicing psychologists and educators seeking to apply fairy tales and metaphors in their work.
