The Psychology of Fairy Tales - Fairy Tales Significance and Roles in Child Development and Education and Boundaries of Their Interpretations
Abstract: The paper discusses the problem of insufficient understanding of the fairy tale psychology and the consequences in terms of possible negative preconceptions and criticisms on a fairy tale role in the education system and opinions on a fairy tale as miraculous in an indeterminate time and still outdated especially because it does not mention mobile phones, tablets and computers, and as such is an obsolete form and therefore useless and even harmful to a child. Contrary to that, some positive psychological fairytale effects and fairy tale significance and role in child development and education are suggested.
Also, a critical review of psychologism is introduced as a consequence of overemphasising the psychological factors and significance of rigidity and unambiguity avoidance by insisting on "Exclusive Truth" in the interpretation of a work of art such as a fairy tale. It is also illustrated in the example how the initial theoretically psychological and psychotherapeutic perspective influences not only the opponency but the contradiction of the interpretation.
In overcoming these extremes, the author advocates a specific approach. A child and his/her interests and developmental needs are placed into the foreground and the teachers` interpretations should be stimulating and encouraging by asking problem questions, by giving certain explanations in order to eliminate larger uncertainties and by all of that it would allow the child to acquire everything that is necessary from the fairy tale at a certain developmental stage and that the fairy tale is able to offer.
