Description
Summary:In 1904, a 19-year-old Sabina Spielrein journeyed from her home in Rostov, Russia, to Zürich, Switzerland, in hopes of becoming a doctor, but was first hospitalized at the famous Burghölzli hospital with a diagnosis of 'hysteria.' There she was treated by Eugene Bleuler and Carl Jung and was able, within less than a year, to begin her medical studies. Her diary entries from 1909 to 1912, as published in Carotenuto's 1982 A Secret Symmetry: Sabina Spielrein between Jung and Freud, reveal a young woman caught up in an intense transference towards her former analyst, Jung, who nevertheless maintained her own sense of purpose and ambition, enabling her to become an analyst in her own right. This essay attempts to give Spielrein back her own voice, portraying her not as the pawn of two great rivals, Jung and Freud, but emphasizing rather her development as the creative pioneering analyst she was to become.
