Animus And Anima In Fairy Tales by Marie-Louise von Franz

A Jungian study that reads traditional fairy tales as symbolic enactments of the inner life, tracing how masculine and feminine archetypal figures—anima and animus—are projected, personified, and transformed in mythic narratives; through close readings of motifs and characters the book shows how these tales dramatize psychological conflicts, initiation and maturation processes, and the path to integration and wholeness, offering insight into how cultural images shape individual development and therapeutic work.
