This is a reconstruction of the story of the woman whose relationship to both Jung and Freud lies at the heart of the origins of psychoanalysis. Kerr has based his study on diaries, letters and journals and on close biographical rereading of the papers of Jung and Freud.

Spielrein's story offers insight into the unresolvable split between the founders of the revolutionary new method of understanding human consciousness.
