A “prince manual” for adult readers by Dr. Natalia Oliferovich—co-author of Fairy Tales on the Couch, licensed psychologist, and psychotherapist with 35 years in the field. She dismantles the classic princes into concrete psychological categories. By analysing these types, readers will learn the principles of choosing a life partner, which men truly have a chance of “living happily ever after” with, and:
– What hides behind the nameless prince’s mask in Cinderella;
– Why so many girls dream of an Edward Cullen-like prince;
– How to tell Bluebeard from a healthy partner right from the start;
– Which developmental stages every boy must pass through to become a man;
– Whether every “magical monster” is necessarily dangerous.
The book contains no invented episodes; every case is drawn from publicly circulated fairy-tale texts cross-checked against the author’s clinical experience. After reading, you will instantly recognize motives, risks, and growth potential behind the “prince” label in real relationships.
