A Jungian Examination of the Mother Archetype and the Mother Complex as they Appear in Well-Known Fairy Tales

By Sibylle Birkhäuser Oeri, unabridged version, edited by Marie-Louise von Franz, Daimon

This unique book impressively illustrates how the mother archetype acts on both the society and the psyche of the individual. On the basis of classic fairy tales – Snow White, Jorinda and Joringel, Rapunzel and others – the positive and the negative aspects of the mother complex are described and provided with context. This is the first publication in English of this book in its original and unabridged form.
