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.
