This book is a major, perhaps a definitive, contribution to the literature. Angela Sells documents both the demonization of a great psychoanalytic theorist-mainly because she was a woman and worse still, was once Carl Jung's patient. The book's greatest strength is its power to enlighten and inform and in so doing, to arouse indignation and amazement at Spielrein's brilliance and tenacity. - Phyllis Chesler, author of Women and Madness This is a pathbreaking piece of research that not only begins to rehabilitate the reputation of a woman patient of Jung's, but also suggests that Spielrein was an important contributor in her own right to the beginnings of psychoanalysis. - Carol P. Christ, coauthor of Goddess and God in the World: Conversations in Embodied Theology
