Summary
Ingrid Riedel: Living with fairy tales
How an abandoned child finds his happiness Even today, in the age of technology, fairy tales and stories are an important part of children's world. That's why the answer to the question: what stories do you remember from when you were four or five years old, and why?, can say more about you than a hundred other details. Ingrid Riedel uses the technique of transactional analysis and through the motifs of fairy tales, the division of roles in them and the functions of the characters, she confronts the patient with his problems and points to possible solutions. In this famous and small book, Ingrid Riedel analyzes, in fifteen chapters, the motifs of the fairy tale "Hans my hedgehog" by the Brothers Grimm and lucidly reveals the mechanisms of prejudice, suppressed desires, the game of acceptance and rejection, the significance of music for the balance of the soul, dealing with the trauma of separation from parents, as well as a whole series of seemingly secondary, but infinitely important factors that can make a child happy or unhappy. After all, the subtitle of the book says a lot (if not everything): How a rejected child finds his happiness.
