The study's novelty provides a new perspective on story therapy in child development with a systematic approach that highlights the unique contribution of a story as a therapeutic tool that supports mental health, educational aspects, and family dynamics. This systematic literature review follows the PRISMA guidelines to collect 33 articles indexed by the Scopus database identified and selected for review. The review identified two main themes in the context of clinical, educational, and family-based practice: various forms of story therapy utilization and types of child development. The research results show that Therapeutic Fairytales has various benefits in supporting children's holistic development, including emotional, cognitive, social, moral, and language development.
