Dangerous method for treating schizophrenia

Sabina Spielrein is one of the first women of psychoanalysts. In 1904, at the age of 18, she entered a psychiatric clinic in Zurich, where she met the young doctor Karl Gustav Jung, who treated her psychosis for one year. At this time, it is believed that their love affair began, which lasted about 7 years. In June 1905, after discharge from the clinic, she enters the medical faculty at the University of Zurich, which graduates in 1911, with the thesis of schizophrenia, which Jung used for his own research in 1912. Spilrain claims that crazy people avoid sex, because in their view he is associated with the fear of decay. In contact with another, they are afraid to lose themselves, dissolving in their partner. Therefore, in her opinion, the schizophrenic patient forms nonsense in which he discards the fact of the difference in floors and creates a replacement of real interaction between the sexes of fantastic relations. The topic of the loss of my own I raised by Spilrain caused a great resonance in the analytical community and became central to all its subsequent studies. She talks about herself and her patients on the pages of this book.
