«Kinder brauchen Märchen» is Bruno Bettelheim's essay on child psychology, published by dtv Verlagsgesellschaft in paperback, in German.
Bettelheim argues that fairy tales are necessary for children's emotional development, as they allow them to understand their fears and inner conflicts while exercising their imagination. He analyzes stories such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood to show how these tales help face life's challenges.
The edition is from March 1993. The book has 394 pages. The German translation is by Liselotte Mickel and Brigitte Weitbrecht. The book belongs to dtv's Kinder & Familie collection.
Aimed at parents, educators and readers interested in child psychology and the interpretation of classic fairy tales.
Bruno Bettelheim was an Austrian-born American psychologist, scholar, public intellectual and writer who spent most of his academic and clinical career in the United States. An early writer on autism, Bettelheim's work focused on the education of emotionally disturbed children, as well as Freudian psychology more generally. In the U.S., he later gained a position as professor at the University of Chicago and director of the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School for Disturbed Children, and after 1973 taught at Stanford University.
