Sabina Spielrein’s name might have vanished into history with her murder at the hands of Nazi troops in 1942 but for a box of documents uncovered in 1977 in a Geneva basement. The box contained Spielrein’s diary, correspondence with Freud and Jung, and other writings identifying her as Jung’s first patient. Jung first treated Spielrein for “nervous symptoms” in 1904-1905, and the correspondence reveals an affair that continued till 1912, when Spielrein married a Russian Jewish physician. During that time Spielrein herself completed a doctoral thesis entitled “A Case of Schizophrenia” (with Jung as her thesis advisor) and joined Freud’s Vienna Psychoanalytic Society. The final break between Freud and Jung occurred shortly thereafter, in 1913, and the film probes Spielrein’s correspondence with the two men during this time, shedding light on the emotional context of the rift between them and relating what one reviewer describes as “a chilling story, bringing to light both the work of this pioneer and the dark side of psychoanalysis.”

Local analyst Karen Gibson, LCSW, Ph.D., will lead the discussion on the film, which will introduce attendees to one of the women in Jung’s shadow, the topic of our November 7 workshop.

Images in Stone: Jung’s Tower at Bollingen A Collaboration Between Architecture and Jungian Psychology Judith Savage, LICSW, LMFT Friday, November 6, 2009 7:30 pm 2 CEUs Parker United Methodist Church 1130 Nashville Avenue, New Orleans

This presentation is the result of a unique collaboration between an analyst and an architect creating together a visual, historical, and narrative tour of Jung’s tower at Bollingen.

Jungian analyst Judith Savage will guide the audience on an intimate journey through the tower’s building process, using three-dimensional, architectural models and over 100 images of the building and its grounds. She will discuss Bollingen’s unique architectural challenges as an ever-changing sculptural form, the archetypal theme of expulsion as it was played out within the Jung/Freud conflict, the tower’s role as Jung’s sanctuary or healing temenos, and the deeply personal meaning of its monuments and paintings.

Judith Savage, LICSW, LMFT, is a Jungian analyst in private practice in St. Paul, a licensed independent clinical social worker, and a marriage and family therapist. She has been on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, an executive officer of the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, and on the Board of the Psychoanalytic Coalition of Minnesota. She is the author of Mourning Unlived Lives: A Psychological Study of Childbearing Loss and a contributor to The Soul of Popular Culture. A former coordinator of the Minnesota Seminar in Jungian Studies, she is currently its treasurer and a core faculty member.

The beautiful love story “Philemon and Baucis” is at the center of the “Metamorphosis,” Ovid’s famous poem. It tells us of an elderly, poor couple who hospitably open their door to allow two tired beggars into their small hut. As the kind hosts share their meager meal, the decrepit beggars suddenly reveal themselves to be none other than the great god Zeus (Jupiter) and his son Hermes (Mercury). The gods reward the hospitable pair by granting them a wish. This lovely tale shows how an attitude of welcome to events or persons that come into our lives can be deeply transformative for us as well as those around us.
