Synopsis
In this new edition of a work on the use of narrative in an experiential approach informed by Gestalt principles, Judith Brown, a Gestalt teacher and therapist, enters the world of folktale in order to help readers recognize their own behaviour in marriages and other intimate relationships. For Brown, the trials, tribulations, adventures and misadventures of folktale marriages provide exaggerated examples of behaviours with which readers can identify and learn from. By reflecting on the foibles and frustrations of folktale couples, it is hoped that the reader will emerge with a heightened awareness of the self in a relationship, and will have a deeper understanding of the requirements of the relationship.

"A magical excursion in the world of folklore and fairytale, filled with people hilariously or uncomfortably like ourselves in the stuckness and repetitions that sometimes characterize couples' lives. The process of self-and-other understanding will never be more potentially instructive, more vivid on the page, and more just plain fun, than in the volume before you. Read it and laugh with self-recognition; read it and weep, perhaps, for the same reason; most of all, read it and learn."
- Gordon Wheeler, Ph.D., from the Foreword
"A charming and invaluable contribution to the growing body of Gestalt literature on couples, and the exploration of Gestalt uses of narrative, and narrative uses of Gestalt."
- Sonia March Nevis, Director, Center for the Study of Intimate Systems, Gestalt Institute of Cleveland
