Overview

"How can I get back the life I believed was lost?"" Theodor Seifert sees this as the central question in the fairy tale ""Snow White."" For the psychotherapist it is a daily experience to hear patients say they ""feel dead,"" that ""life is passing [them] by,"" that they are ""spectators but not participants."" Seifert views the fairy tale as a wellspring of wisdom where one can find trustworthy solutions to problems. The central problem he treats in his interpretation of ""Snow White"" is relationship: ""Can my frozen feelings come to life again?"" ""Can I make a new beginning, or must I live out a living death?"" Theodor Seifert, Ph.D., is an author and Jungian analyst in Stuttgart, West Germany. He is a training analyst in the German Society for Analytical Psychology and the general editor of a series of psychological studies on fairy tales, of which this is the first volume.
