1. Teaching of problem solving constitutes a structural component of my Fairy-tale Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (FCBT) model. I believe that fairy-tales have tremendous potentialities to learn how to solve our problems.

2. In my model of problem analysis of fairy-tale the following aspects are accentuated:

1. 1) in reading a fairy-tale you should draw your attention to problems and ways of their solving presented in the fairy-tale;

2. 2) you should reflect upon what other ways of problem solving may be used in the case;

3. 3) what mistakes have been made and what successful means of problem solving the characters of the fairy-tale used;

4. 4) what has led to the origin of the problem and how it could be avoided;

5. 5) what factors influence the problem solving positively or negatively;

6. 6) what is needed to solve the problem;

7. 7) what resources are needed for the characters of the fairy-tale to solve the problem; do they have these resources and do they use them rightly and effectively;

8. 8) peculiarities of the thinking of the characters;

9. 9) to what systemic consequences may these or those ways of problem solving have led;

10. 10) what strategies of problem solving are used in the fairy-tale and perhaps it is better to use other ones;

11. 11) what the fairy-tale teaches us;

12. 12) drawing a parallel between situations in the fairy-tale and life situations of the patients; etc.

3. A fragment of my group psychotherapy session at which the problem analysis was conducted will be presented at the Congress.
