The International School of Metamorphoses Fairy Tale Therapy primarily represents an intellectual community and a commitment to universal values that have shaped human history for thousands of years. It was founded with the aim of creating a place where people can become familiar with the way of thinking, worldview, and value system that lie behind the world of myths and folk tales. A place where we address one another in humanity’s shared native language\u2014the language of stories\u2014and where stories help us answer the question of what it means to be human. A place where anyone can rest, gather strength, listen to a tale, but more importantly, tell their own story.<\/p>\n

The International School of Metamorphoses Fairy Tale Therapy is built upon universal spiritual teachings, just as folk tales are. We explore what it means to be a \u201cunified and integral human being,\u201d how we can remain \u201cIN ORDER\u201d amidst growing chaos, and how this can be achieved with the help of folk tales. In essence, the International School of Metamorphoses Fairy Tale Therapy teaches people to remember: to bring to life the knowledge with which we were born and for which tales serve as a means of awakening and rediscovery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Metamorphoses Story Therapy Method is named after Ovid’s work Metamorphoses. Ovid wrote his work, which he called “Continuous Song”, between 1 and 8 AD, which reviews time from the beginning of the world to his time, in a unique way. Metamorphoses is not a world chronicle that records events in order, but shows the history of the world from a single perspective: what has changed since the beginning, and how these changes took place. Since story therapy is based on the practice of mythical processing of personal life events, and its most important goal is to create the spiritual, intellectual and physical conditions necessary for changes, the method was named after this work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The foundations of the method contribute greatly to the domestic and international success of Metamorphoses Fairy Tale Therapy: V. J. Propp’s morphological theory, H. G. Gadamer’s hermeneutic spiral, and theoretical works on initiation rites, led by Propp’s folkloristic studies.<\/p>

The work of Vladimir Yakovlevic Propp gave me the idea to develop the foundations of a possible fairy tale aesthetics in my PhD thesis, which I defended in 1997. In retrospect, I feel lucky that I received a manuscript for my 1986 thesis from my supervisor, Dr. M\u00e1rton Istv\u00e1novits, which was only published in 2005, and which was previously unknown to only the two of us. Professor Istv\u00e1novits translated the work entitled The Historical Roots of the Magic Tale, but did not intend it to be published: he kept it in his own desk drawer, had it corrected and polished. This thin, soft-spoken man was a generous and extremely intelligent mentor, he allowed me, a twenty-year-old girl, to read and annotate this invaluable manuscript in the library of the Ethnographic Research Institute in the afternoons. By the time his book was published 19 years later (long after his death), fairy tale aesthetics had become fairy tale therapy, drawing on Propp\u2019s book, among other things.
The Hungarian word \u201cfairy tale therapy\u201d did not exist in the public consciousness in 2005 \u2013 similarly to \u201cfairy tale aesthetics\u201d \u2013 if you typed it into a search engine, only one result came up. There was a class in B\u00e1rczi with this name, but as it turned out later, in this class the students studied the effect of fairy tales on children (I received the course materials, that\u2019s how I know.) That\u2019s how the fairy tale therapy domain name came to me, and in 2006 the fairy tale therapy website was also created. The name of the method was trademarked in 2008, but university accreditation only started in 2013 with the help of the Institute of Behavioral Sciences. Exactly twenty-six years passed between my first encounter with Propp and the recognition of the method in university circles. A lot of work, tears, frustration and perseverance were already behind me by then.
The uniqueness and uniqueness of a method is determined by the foundations on which it is built. The Proppian foundations clearly distinguish metamorphosis-story therapy from other methods, e.g. M\u00e1rta Antalfai’s Treasure Hunter-story therapy, which has strong Jungian foundations. I am grateful to Vladimir Jakovlevics Propp, whom I mention as the \u201cfather of story therapy\u201d in my classes, I hope he is not angry with me for it. And I will cherish Propp’s spirituality and the honesty and generosity embodied by Professor Istv\u00e1novits until the end of my life. Thank you also for the spiritual support from beyond the grave!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
