With the release of the movie "A Dangerous Method" last year, the life and work of Sabina Spielrein got a renewed interest. Although the movie is somewhat accurate about the relations of Jung and Spielrein, it fails in some other matters, mostly because of the source material (the book written by Kerr). Also the way Freud was portrayed was quite biased, as this old orthodox master, obsessed by ruling over his disciples.
The truth is that there are some excellent books on this subject and many articles covering the relation between Jung and Spielrein, the influence of Spielrein on Freud and Jung and the works of Spielrein about the children psychology and language. Among so many sources, two books deserve to be mentioned. The first is the biography written by Sabine Richebächer called Sabina Spielrein. This one is exactly what it promises: a detailed account of Sabina's life and work. The sad part is that the english translation of this book might be expensive, since it is somewhat rare to find one. There are options, since the book exists also in the german original, but also in spanish and portuguese translations.

The other book worth mentioning is Covington's Sabina Spielrein - Forgotten Pioneer of Psychoanalysis. This one is actually organized by Covington and Wharton, but contains articles from many authors and also letters and extracts from Spielrein's diary. There is even a translation to english of one article Spielrein wrote in 1923 about the origins of language in children. This book s is a must-have.
