Product Description
Product Description
With a text revised and corrected by the author, this definitive edition of Individuation in Fairy Tales is rich with insights from religion, literature, and myth. Dr. von Franz focuses on the symbolism of the bird motif in six fairy tales of Europe and Asia: "The White Parrot" (Spain), "The Bath Bagerd" (Persia), "Princess Hassan Pasha" (Turkestan), "The Bid Flower Triller" (Iran), "The Nightingale Giser" (Balkans), and "The Bird Wehmus" (Austria). She explores the themes of psychological and spiritual transformation in the varied images of birds, such as the phoenix, the parrot, and the griffin. Special attention is given to the connection between fairy tales and alchemy and to the guidance that fairy tales give to therapeutic work.

Fairy Tales and Dreams - Hope for our World, Feb 11 2007
By Patricia E. Russell "Pat Russell LPC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Individuation in Fairy Tales (Paperback)
Marie Louise von Franz is a delightful writer who understands what we need to know about ourselves and our world right now. Her sense of humor and informality make the most unfamiliar ideas accessible. She explains beautifully how fairy tales really are the dreams of nations and tribes and how they compensate for our conscious attitudes just as dreams do. She provides hope by explaining how fairy tales communicate the answers to the world's problems which dwell in the unconscious..

Keys to the Unconscious, Mar 8 2006
By Lloyd Taylor "lloydtaylor" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Individuation in Fairy Tales (Paperback)
Marie Louise Von Franz does a very sharp job in explaining the role symbols play in these stories. She unravels with remarkably ease the gist behind the stories she analyses and shows us the spiritual role a bird or parrot plays in resolving enigmas of entrapment as quite common to diverse cultures. This book is rewarding reading.
