Synopsis
This is a reconstruction of the story of the woman whose relationship to both Jung and Freud lies at the heart of the origins of psychoanalysis. Kerr has based his study on diaries, letters and journals and on close biographical rereading of the papers of Jung and Freud. Sabina Spielrein was first a patient, then a student and lover of Jung; she was later to become the colleague, confidante and friend of Freud. Spielrein's story offers insight into the unresolvable split between the founders of the revolutionary new method of understanding human consciousness. Kerr argues that psychoanalysis has been profoundly shaped by what each man knew - through Spielrein - about the other's private life, and by the leverage each tried to exert through that knowledge, without destroying the intellectual movement they had built together so successfully.
