14/12/2026 - Carina Coulacoglou to present her Fairy Tale Test at MUP
On Monday 14 December 2026, the CERERIS research centre and the Department of Psychology at Metropolitan University Prague will welcome Dr Carina Coulacoglou, a child and developmental psychologist from Athens. She developed the Fairy Tale Test (FTT), known in Czech as Test pohádek, during her doctoral research at the University of Exeter. In 2006, she founded the Projective Fairy Tale Test Society.What might the wolf have in mind when he meets Little Red Riding Hood in the woods? Even children who know the same story may interpret his actions differently. The Fairy Tale Test, a projective assessment for children aged 6 to 12, draws on these differences.
During the seminar, Dr Coulacoglou will demonstrate how she administers the test and scores the protocols. As she discusses individual cases, participants will see first-hand how she interprets the numerical scores. They will also hear which details in a child’s story might lead her to consider, for example, whether a defence mechanism is at work.
