abstract="In the analysis of a woman with multiple childhood traumas, the fairy tale &quot;Hansel and Gretel&quot; figured prominently. The author discusses the use of the fairy tale in this case at various levels. He suggests an interplay between a national myth, the fairy tale, and a personal myth-the patient's psychodynamics. The fairy tale can be used to illuminate personal meanings derived from it. In the experience of childhood trauma, the repeated reading of a fairy tale can help organize and defend against terrifying anxiety.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
