Fairytales as Mirrors of Psychopathology

April 18, 1993 @ 7:30 pm - April 18, 2021 @ 9:30 pm PDT

lecture:

Fairy tales are like collective dreams which, acting as x-rays of the psyche, reveal the structure and dynamics of personality. Many tales depict gross peculiarities of behavior. This workshop will use a selection of such stories which indicate various aspects of psychopathology.

Suggested reading from Grimm: Clever Elsie, #34; Strong Hans, #166; The Sea Hare, #191; Rapunzel, #12. (The numbers are consistent in all editions, though the titles vary a little).
