«Psychanalyse des contes de fées» is the psychology essay by Bruno Bettelheim, published by Robert Laffont in paperback (403 pages, in French).
Bruno Bettelheim, child psychiatrist, interprets fairy tales as stories that help the child make sense of life and work through fears and desires. Far from being simple, they symbolically address developmental conflicts: «The Three Little Pigs» opposes the pleasure principle and the reality principle, and «Snow White» refers to oedipal conflicts.
Work originally published in English as «The Uses of Enchantment» (1975); this 1976 French edition was translated by Théo Carlier.
For readers interested in child psychology and the symbolic interpretation of classic tales.
