«Psychanalyse des contes de fées» is Bruno Bettelheim's psychology essay, published by Pocket in paperback format (476 pages, in French).
Drawing on psychoanalysis, Bruno Bettelheim argues that fairy tales, far from frightening children, offer them symbolic keys to understanding their fears and desires. He analyzes tales such as «Cenicienta», «Blancanieves», «Caperucita Roja» and «Los tres cerditos» and shows how these stories help the child make sense of inner conflicts and move towards autonomy.
The original work was published in 1975 as «The Uses of Enchantment: The Meaning and Importance of Fairy Tales» and won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award.
For parents, educators and readers interested in child psychology or the symbolic interpretation of classic 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.
