*2.1.2 Step 2. Identify a pattern evidenced in the clinical material*

Patterns serve as models or designs which provide predictability via a repeated or regular way that something is done which can serve as a useful guide for further work and delineates how things are usually done. In terms of behaviors, a pattern may be informative about personality or approach, and patterns in data can inform analysis within the context of research. A fairy tale is a cultural model or design which has emerged as a patterned cultural artifact. The current methodology utilizes a systematic approach to reviewing the Snow White fairy tale, expanding from ad hoc

clinical insights noted in the previous publication [1]. By revisiting current literature to inform the analysis process, an increasingly systematic approach to elements of the fairy tale is provided, specifically the eight elements outlined by Johnston [68].
