A Most Dangerous Method: The Story of Jung, Freud, and Sabina Spielrein Paperback - 1994

by John Kerr

This explosive, revelatory history of the early years of psychoanalysis shows that the bitterly unresolvable split between Jung and Freud pivoted around a former patient and lover of Jung's whose story and own potentially important theoretical contributions to psychoanalysis were blocked by both men. "A huge scholarly work . . . gripping".--The New York Times.

Media reviews

“Both a superb cultural history and a gripping narrative. . . . Daring. —San Francisco Chronicle
 
“Surrounds Spielrein’s personal history with all the debates, squabbles, negotiations for precedence, knifings in the back that accompanied the development of . . .  psychoanalytic schools.” —The Atlantic
