Jung's deep psychological interpretation of the well-known fairy tales ("Snow White", "Rapunzel", "Sleeping Beauty") is amusing, easy to understand and provides an "aha" experience. He analyzes the mother-daughter conflict on the basis of Snow White and the girl's awakening to womanhood in Sleeping Beauty. Using many examples from his own practice, he sheds light on the phase of cutting the cord between parents and children with a view to systemic interdependencies and role models in the family. Also suitable as a guidebook and for those interested in psychology.
