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.

"This fascinating book fills a large gap, and provides an important corrective, showing Sabina Spielrein as an original and innovative psychoanalytic thinker in her own right, not as a minor or romantic character between Jung and Freud, nor as one who primarily borrowed from them and Piaget, for example. Cooper-White and Kelcourse, along with Harris and Naszkowska, give us Spielrein as one of the truly influential women in early psychoanalysis, despite erasure and non-citation. Accessible translations of her writings allow us to hear her own extraordinary voice."-Donna M. Orange, Ph.D., Psy.D., New York Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, New York, USA
"Felicity Kelcourse and Pamela Cooper-White have edited an important collection of essays on the life and psychoanalytic contributions of Sabina Spielrein. The literature on Spielrein has come a long way since Aldo Carotenuto’s 1982 A secret symmetry: Sabina Spielrein between Freud and Jung. Subsequent literature has moved away from a focus on the triangular relationship between these famous figures to a critical assessment of Spielrein’s original work. Kelcourse focuses on Spielrein’s 1911 psychiatric dissertation, "On the Psychological Content of a Case of Schizophrenia." Cooper-White analyses Spielrein’s important 1912 article, "Destruction as a Cause of Becoming." Two additional contributors. Klara Naszkowska and Adrienne Harris cover Spielrein’s return to Russia in 1923, assessing her contributions to the development of psychoanalysis in Russia, with a specific focus on child language development."-Brian Skea, IAAP, Ph.D., Jungian psychoanalyst, private practice, Brewster, Massachusetts, USA; teaching faculty, past President and current Curriculum Coordinator, Boston Jung Institute
