Summary:
Folktales have given pleasure and delight for centuries, and ultimately many of them have been a source of wisdom for generations of people, who had no psychology textbooks to reference, and no certified therapists to consult.
In this interview, Allan Hunter demonstrates that, while the collection of folktales by the Grimm brothers deal with some very murky human passions, they also hold the possibility of a productive way of being - on the other side of difficulty. He explores what magic represents in German folktales, and why Grimms tales are often disturbing.
In discussing the "unDisneyfied" stories of Cinderella, the Frog Prince, and others, Allan identifies empowerment and healing themes, relevant to the community and society, both then and now.
Born in England in 1955, Allan G. Hunter gained his degrees atOxford University,emerging with a doctorate in English Literaturein 1983. He is a therapist and, for the past 20 years, a professor of literature atCurry College in Massachusetts. He is the author ofJoseph Conrad and the Ethics of Darwinism,(Routledge Kegan & Paul 1983),Life Passages(Kroshka Books 2000), andThe Sanity Manual(Kroshka Books 1999).
