- The text is the result of experience in using the clinical tool of the fairy tale workshop within a children’s health service.
- It highlights the function of the intervention: aimed at a group of children, it outlines the use of the fairy tale as a mediator that, through the story and characters, allows children to come into contact with emotions without being frightened. In the second part of the text, direct session experiences with children are presented in three fundamental stages: listening to the fairy tale, dramatization, and drawing.
- A useful tool for treating emotional and behavioral disorders. It facilitates dialogue with parents.
