For centuries, people have had a strong sense that it is absolutely beneficial to read fairy tales to children. However, the benefits might have been 1 . Some researchers are reassessing this long-established belief and after years of surveys and observations, they are sending out the message: reading too much Cinderella to your daughter may 2 damage her in later life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy (认知心理疗法) suggests a link between the 3 of women abused (虐待) by their partners and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who 4 Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to stay in 5 relationships as adults.
The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed sixty-seven female abuse survivors and found that sixty-one 6 severe abuse because they believed they could change their partners with patience and love. The same view was 7 by male survivors who had been abused as children. Hardly any of the women and men in a control group, who had not 8 abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way. These women and men said they would 9 a relationship rather than suffer the abuse from a partner. Ms. Darker Smith found that these abused women were much more likely to sympathize with Cinderella and other female characters who tended to obey instead of 10 .
Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who 11 the characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their partners’ 12 ,” she said. “ 13 in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can change their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious 14 in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms. Darker Smith, “is why she did not break the door by herself After all, being 15 is a desirable characteristic that children should learn to possess from the early age and prevail in the life time. ”
