«Psicoanálisis de los cuentos de hadas» is the psychology essay by Bruno Bettelheim, published by Crítica in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Bruno Bettelheim unravels the psychological meaning of classic tales such as «Caperucita Roja», «Cenicienta», «Blancanieves» and «Hansel y Gretel». He argues that these stories help children understand their emotions and inner conflicts, and that their symbolism offers them support in facing fears, desires and the construction of identity.
Work originally published in 1975 under the title «The Uses of Enchantment»; this edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo de Crítica collection (no. 3).
May be of interest to educators, parents and readers of child psychology, literature and symbolism in traditional 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.
