Abstract: Fairy tales are widely used in psychological prevention, diagnosis, and treatment by virtue of interesting expressions, rich humanistic connotations, and profound educational functions. In order to better explore the effectiveness of fairy tales in the treatment of aggressive behavior, the paper studied an aggressive child who received carefully designed and implemented fairy tale therapy programs. By comparing the child’s behaviors before and after treatments, it endorsed that fairy tale therapy has a better therapeutic effect on children’s aggressive behaviors. This research not only verified the clinical role of fairy tale therapy, but also provided practical experience for future development of children’s mental health services by Chinese public libraries.
