Fairy Tale World: Cultural and Psychological Aspects

The book "Fairy Tale World: Cultural and Psychological Aspects" examines the fundamental problems of complex paradigms of the fairy tale continuum. The fairy tale, as an integral component of culture, has accompanied the life of society for millennia in various manifestations and has been actively used primarily in education and upbringing. However, in the modern world, fairy tale therapy is one of the youngest among the current trends in psychology. The successful development of the methodological foundation of fairy tale therapy, despite its dynamic formation, is related to the assimilation of centuries-old cultural experience, including folk traditions. An unconditional necessity of this process is the appeal to sciences adjacent to psychology that study the phenomenon of the fairy tale in order to ensure a new level of mastery of the genre and contextual potential in the psychological sphere, taking into account their achievements.

The book provides specialists with the opportunity to look at many aspects of fairy tale therapy across a wide range for effective solutions to professional tasks and the realization of new prospects.

Previously, the book was published under the title "Atlas of the Fairy Tale World" (2011). The reader is offered a second edition with a clarified title, more in line with the essence of the scientific work, and with additional meaningful supplements.

The book is primarily aimed at fairy tale therapists and practicing psychologists, but it will undoubtedly be useful to all those interested in fairy tales.
