After a brief introduction to fairy tales and methods of interpretation, we will work with one of the most universal fairytale motifs on the planet\u2014Cinderella. Prominent issues revolve around abandonment, loss, grief and narcissism. Significant ecopsychological aspects of the Grimm\u2019s version of this tale will be highlighted together with a relationship to the concept of the Tao. Time permitting, the Grimm\u2019s version will be compared with the Perrault-Disney version.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7kB-uxXDfpM\">View on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dennis Merritt, PhD, &#8220;Cinderella, the Tao, and Ecopsychology&#8221; March 25, 2025 at 08:25PM Program presented to the C.G.
