How would Cinderella have actually turned out, given that she grew up in a home where she was hated and abused? What sort of mother wants to murder her own daughter because she is younger and more beautiful? Just how possessive is a woman who locks her own child into a tower to prevent her from having contact with other people? Three novella-length fairy tales answer these questions while exploring the psychology of narcissism, self-injury, envy, and unconscious shame. Noted psychologist Joseph Burgo turns his hand to fiction in this companion work to his non-fiction book THE NARCISSIST YOU KNOW (Touchstone 2015).
