I have never read A Dangerous Method, the book by John Kerr on which the movie is based, though it is sitting on my bookshelf. After reading the article, I think I will pick it up. The story is a fascinating one, though it does not paint Jung in a very flattering light. Among other things, it is a story of a woman who becomes a kind of pawn in the rivalry between Jung and Freud.

One part of the story I didn't know was that Jung's intimate and possibly sexual relationship with Spielrein was one of the main inspirations for his concept of the Anima, which he described as the feminine soul image in a man's psyche. According to The Telegraph article:​

"[Jung] invested the anima with all sorts of qualities, some exhilarating and some dangerous which, Jung wrote, he'd recognised in 'a woman...a patient, a talented psychopath who had become a living figure in my mind'. Jung's anima is Sabina Spielrein."

As the article points out, this story was also the subject of a recent documentary called, My Name is Sabina Spielrein. I haven't had a chance to see that film either. I'm very interested in seeing both the documentary as well as this newer movie once it gets a wide release. How about you? Do you plan to see A Dangerous Method when it is released?
