Abstract

Annotation. The article discusses the basic methodological principles of integrative fairy tale therapy. Integrative fairy tale therapy, as a field in practical psychology, promotes the development of a harmonious personality through differentiation and unification of personality systems through comprehension and transformation of human nature through accompanied symbolic and metaphorical integration through magical, fabulous, mythological texts, stories with transpersonal potential and generic archetypal energy. One of the important aspects of children's literature is its use as an object of fairy-tale therapy. Modern fairy tales have a unique ability to influence children, helping them solve modern problems. Through understandable modern fairy-tale characters and plots, children can identify their feelings, find answers to life's questions, and develop their inner worldview. The children's literature of Kazakhstan has a unique specificity, combining traditional cultural values and modern trends. It reflects the rich cultural heritage of the people, their wisdom, traditions and customs. The main topics of children's literature in Kazakhstan are nature, history, folk tales and legends, as well as issues of upbringing and personal development.
