The first weekend within the Kazka Fest project in Feldman Ekopark organized by the International Charitable Foundation \u201cOleksandr Feldman Foundation\u201d with the support of Ukrainian Cultural Foundation within the framework of its programme \u201cProminent Event for Ukrainian Culture\u201d was devoted to a fairy tale therapy. Young guests to the Social and Humanitarian Multi-Complex were able to try this healing methodology, while their parents adopted it at home. During the past weekend, workers and volunteers of the Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation held in total twenty sessions focused on different age groups \u2013 from 3 to 7 years. In specially equipped reading tents children plunged into the magic world of imagination by means of toy and living characters \u2013 kittens and rabbits. Each fantastic session finished with psychotherapeutic interaction in a group: study of the read plot in a game form with animators, drawing and cutting from color paper. In addition to reading tents, at Feldman Ecopark paths appeared gallery of fantastic illustrations and stands where everyone was able to paint his\/her favourite fantastic hero, make own version of famous fairy tale by means of drawings.<\/p>\n
According to the head of psychological service of the Feldman Ecopark Centre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation Tetiana Aliieva, fairy therapy is a synthesis of scientific achievements of psychology and pedagogics with art. The main lever of fairy therapy is a metaphor as a basis of any fairy tale. Precision of chosen metaphor defines efficiency of fairy therapy skills in work with both children and adults.
\n“All fairy tales we chose (both well-known, folk, and new books by modern writers, we sorted out by age and discussed subject especially for parents, and then ciphered them. So, instead of Puss in Boots, Mitten, The Lonely Ant or Velveteen Rabbit, everyone was able to see on posters The fairy tale of courage and ingenuity, The tale of cordiality and hospitality, The tale of friendship and fidelity, The tale of kindness and care. Thereby, we at once explained fairy therapy essence to adults, keeping an intrigue for children”, \u2013 Tatiana Aliieva told.<\/p>\n
“Fairy tale therapy allows the child to feel more confident, to get rid of fears, to change internally. The child will identify himself with that fairy tale character closest to him by moral and personal qualities. It is an invaluable material for work of the psychologist and attentive, loving parents, \u2013 Inna Vashkite explained. \u2013 In time told fairy tale means to the child as much as psychological consultation to adult. The only difference is that the child is not obliged to draw aloud conclusions and to analyze his state, everything is going at the internal, subconscious level.”<\/p>\n
