The Psychological Meaning of

Redemption Motifs in Fairytales

by noted Jungian Analyst Marie-Louise von Franz

Redemption Motifs in Fairy Tales

In this book consisting of seven lectures delivered at the Jung Institute of Zurich in 1956, von Franz distinguishes between the Christian idea of redemption and the psychological meaning of redemption motifs in fairy tales in which one is cursed or bewitched and later redeemed through certain occurrences. She discusses motifs from various tales to show different types of curses that have important psychological meaning; a human being in a neurotic state might be compared to a bewitched person in which one particular structure of the psyche is damaged in its functioning and the whole is affected. She comments that such fairy tales do not dwell much on problems of the curse but on the method of redemption, which is relevant to therapeutic procedures and the healing process.(Cross-Currents of Jungian Thought: An Annotated Bibliography by Donald R. Dyer (Shambhala Publications, 1991)

Marie-Louise von Franz, Ph.D. (1915-1998), worked closely with Jung from 1934 until his death in 1961.

"...there were those who hailed her as the queen of Jungian psychology. She was an expert on fairy tales who had been both Carl Gustav Jung's most brilliant and inspired disciple and the one who had done the most to illuminate the flame since his death in 1961.

Known as a compassionate and effective analyst who interpreted more than 65,000 dreams, she lectured widely in the United States and elsewhere, all the while insisting that the goal of the Jungian thought was not to become a Jungian but one's own unique self.

For Dr. von Franz, the process of individuation, Jung's term for finding and embracing oneself, was a lifelong pursuit.

To the end, dreams remained an important part of her quest. A few weeks before her death, Dr. von Franz, who suffered from Parkinson's disease, told a friend of a dream in which her disease had vanished, leaving her completely healed. She said the dream had brought her great joy." (Robert McG. Thomas, Jr., New York Times, March 23, 1998)
