«Psychanalyse des contes de fées» is the psychology essay by Bruno Bettelheim, published by Hachette in paperback (512 pages, in French).
Bruno Bettelheim, a child psychiatrist, sees in fairy tales a rite of passage between childhood and the adult world: their simplicity helps make sense of what is not understood and work through repressed feelings. «The Three Little Pigs» opposes the pleasure and reality principles; «Snow White», oedipal conflicts; «The Goose Girl», the incest taboo and autonomy.
Work originally published in English as «The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales». This French edition by Hachette belongs to the Pluriel collection.
Of interest to educators, parents, and readers of psychoanalysis, children's literature, or folklore.
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.
