Fairy Tales as a Tool, Means, and Container in Child Therapy

Abstract

Noga Levine-Keini

In this article, I will address fairy tales and their relevance to the emotional world of children. Various theorists attribute significant importance to the use of fairy tales. I will present examples from research conducted on children's reactions to different fairy tales from a psychodynamic perspective. Additionally, I will provide a therapeutic example that illustrates the advantages of using fairy tales, stemming from their unique structure and their distance from everyday life. I will emphasize the use of fairy tales as a means, a container, which can also serve as a transitional object.
