The Psychology of Fairy Tales. Fundamentals of Fairy Tale Therapy

«The Psychology of Fairy Tales. Fundamentals of Fairy Tale Therapy» — this is a book about fairy tale therapy as a direction of practical psychology and how fairy tales are used in working with different ages and requests. Igor Viktorovich Vachkov combines theoretical foundations with applied analysis: he shows what types of fairy tales exist, the principles on which work with fairy tale material is built, and how to select forms of interaction depending on the goals and characteristics of the person. This approach makes the publication useful both for familiarization with the topic and for a more systematic understanding of the method.
The focus is on the fairy tale as a psychological method. The author examines key issues of fairy tale therapy, describes typologies of fairy tales, and analyzes techniques for working with them. The book relates to practical psychology and psychotherapy, but the presentation here is educational-methodological: it is not about discussions on the benefits of fairy tales, but about the structure of the direction, its foundations, and possibilities for application.
