Autorenporträt

Franz Ricklin (1878–1938) was a pioneering Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst whose work contributed significantly to the early development of psychoanalytic theory. A contemporary of Carl Jung, Ricklin was a key figure in the exploration of the unconscious mind. His scholarly endeavors were deeply influenced by Freudian psychoanalysis, which he applied to the interpretation of cultural phenomena, especially myths and fairy tales. 'Wishfulfillment and Symbolism in Fairy Tales' stands as a testament to his profound interest in the narrative structure of fairy tales and their symbolic representation of subconscious desires and conflicts. In this seminal work, Ricklin delves into the psychological underpinnings of fairy tales, suggesting that these stories resonate with deep-seated emotional and psychological needs. His analysis unveils the complexities of human psyche and its manifestation in folklore, contributing to the field of analytical psychology and the understanding of collective unconscious. Although not as widely recognized as his peers, Ricklin's insights into symbolism and his innovative therapeutic approaches have left a lasting mark on the study of psychoanalysis and depth psychology.
