Individuation In Fairy Tales by Marie-Louise von Franz
A Jungian study that reads traditional fairy tales as symbolic maps of psychological development, arguing that their recurrent motifs and archetypal figures—heroes, tricksters, wise old people, the shadow, anima/animus—stage the inner process of individuation; through close readings of many tales the work shows how fairy-tale imagery represents stages of ego formation, confrontation with the unconscious, integration of split-off aspects of the self, and eventual transformation, and it discusses the therapeutic and cultural functions of these narratives in guiding individuals through conflicts, projections, and the attainment of psychic wholeness.
