Sabina Spielrein stands as both an important and tragic figure-misunderstood or underestimated by her fellow analysts (including Jung and Freud) and often erased in the annals of psychoanalytic history. Her story has not only been largely forgotten, but actively (though unconsciously) repressed as the figure who represented a trauma buried in the early history of psychoanalysis.
Sabina Spielrein and the Beginnings of Psychoanalysis joins the growing field of scholarship on Spielrein's distinctive and significant theoretical innovations at the foundations of psychoanalysis and serves as a new English language source of some of Spielrein's key works. The book includes:
Spielrein's life and works are currently undergoing a serious and necessary critical reclamation, as the fascinating chapters in this book attest. Sabina Spielrein and the Beginnings of Psychoanalysis will be of great significance to all psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic psychotherapists, analytical psychologists, and scholars of psychoanalysis interested in Spielrein and the early development of the field.
