Synopsis "Mother Figures in Fairy Tales: A Jungian Examination of the Mother Archetype and the Mother Complex as They Appear in Well-Known Fairy Tales "

This unique book impressively illustrates how the mother complex functions both in the world and in the human psyche. On the basis of classic fairy tales - Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and others - the positive and negative aspects of the mother complex are described and provided with context. This is the first publication in English of this material in its original unabridged form. "This book ... compares processes in the unconscious with mythic images in fairy tales in order to bring clarity to what is obscure. It is the distillation of many years of experience and concern with psychic issues and ... [offers] both men and women an illuminating perspective on their personal problems ... For many it will serve to bring light in to the dark area so full of vague promise and peril, which confronts us again and again from the 'realm of the mothers." - From the Foreword by Marie-Louise von Franz

Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) was a Swiss psychologist and scholar, known for her psychological interpretations of fairy tales and alchemical manuscripts. She closely collaborated with Carl Gustav Jung from 1934 until his death in 1961, particularly in studies related to alchemy. She earned her PhD in philology at the University of Zurich and later served as an analyst and lecturer at the C. G. Jung Institute in the same city

Among her most notable works are "The Interpretation of Fairy Tales" (1970), "Alchemy: An Introduction to the Symbolism and the Psychology" (1980), and "The Problem of the Puer Aeternus" (1981). Additionally, she co-wrote "The Legend of the Grail" (1960) with Emma Jung. These publications, in the field of analytical psychology, explore themes such as archetypes, alchemy, and mythology.
