Mother. Archetypal image in a fairy tale. 2nd edition. Birkhoyzer-Oeri S.

In this book, the deep meaning of fairy -tale images is revealed by the methods of Jungian psychology. The author compares the unconscious mental processes with the dynamics of mythological and fabulous images, clarifying a lot of what was previously inaccessible to our consciousness. The themes of fairy tales are universal, and the fabulous language is saturated with symbols typical of the unconscious, so the analysis of fairy tales is one of the approaches to working with archetypal ideas and characters of the collective unconscious.

The book is intended for psychologists, psychotherapists and a wide range of readers.
