The Untold Story of Sabina Spielrein: Healed and Haunted by Love

The unpublished Russian diary and letters of Sabina Spielrein represent a milestone for academics, scholars, historians, and psychoanalysts whose interest in the most enigmatic woman to have pioneered psychoanalysis and developmental psychology in the first part of the 20th century has never ceased to grow after she was rediscovered in the mid-1970s. These Primary sources, which include unreleased drawings and notes, were patiently exhumed and translated by Lothane from New York to Russia and across Europe over two decades, with the collaboration of Spielrein’s grandnephew, Vladimir Shpilrain. 
Speaker:

About the Presentation

The unpublished Russian diary and letters of Sabina Spielrein represent a milestone for academics, scholars, historians, and psychoanalysts whose interest in the most enigmatic woman to have pioneered psychoanalysis and developmental psychology in the first part of the 20th century has never ceased to grow after she was rediscovered in the mid-1970s. These Primary sources, which include unreleased drawings and notes, were patiently exhumed and translated by Lothane from New York to Russia and across Europe over two decades, with the collaboration of Spielrein’s grandnephew, Vladimir Shpilrain. Thoroughly presented and commented on by Lothane, this book will also fascinate a public increasingly drawn to the legacy of a feminist figure whose intimate correspondence provides an invaluable testimony from her childhood to the most ignored episodes of an extraordinary life between passions, strokes of genius, and tragedies. Sabina Spielrein was last seen with her daughters, in 1942, in a column of 27,000 Jews marched by the Nazis to be murdered in Zmiyevskaia ravine, Rostov’s Babiy Yar.

Learning Objectives

1. Present new data about the lives of Sabina Spielrein, her parents, and siblings;

2. Cite unpublished letters of Jung to Spielrein; 

3. Describe insights into relationship between Jung and Spielrein.

Hidden Unconscious, Buried Unconscious, Implicit Unconscious

The paper presents a combination of psychoanalytic theory and technique through two clinical cases that present complex articulations of spurious unconscious functional areas and modalities, alternately repressed and not repressed.

Speakers:
Dr. Stefano Bolognini

CME/CE Credits Available (2 credits)

About the Speaker(s)

Dr. Stefano Bolognini is one of the most active, prolific and well - known Italian psychoanalysts. He lives and works in Bologna, where he trained as a psychoanalyst at the Italian Psychoanalytic Society. An Associate member of the Italian Psychoanalytic Society since 1985, he became a Training Analyst in 1998.

Dr. Bolognini is a former President of the IPA. He published numerous articles and several books, one of them As Wind, as Wave received the prestigious Gradiva Award.

About the Presentation

The current extension of the concept of the Unconscious to different levels, configurations and functioning of the mind is the result of decades of collective reflection on clinical practice as well as on theory. Analysts today have a broader, more refined and complex knowledge of defensive and transformative processes, and this has also led to an evolution in technique. The paper presents a combination of psychoanalytic theory and technique through two clinical cases that present complex articulations of spurious unconscious functional areas and modalities, alternately repressed and not repressed.

KEY WORDS: Central self, experiential self, integration, removal, sharing, splitting.

Learning Objectives

Recognize the need to extend the concept of the unconscious beyond the limits of the repressed unconscious .



Describe the subjective way of relating to one’s own self and to the unconscious.



Understand both initial basic functional immaturity and the dysfunction caused in later periods by post-traumatic disorganisation/de-structuring of the Ego.

Group Psychoanalysis: Who Knew?

In this 90 minute offering, Dr. Attwell will introduce the class to the didactic similarities and differences between individual and group psychoanalysis as well as how they can work in effective tandem. He will then run a 30 minute experiential group to illustrate the key principles in a here-and-now focus on growth of the interpersonal ego and meaningful affective communication. In closing, the class will wrestle to link the didactic and experiential portions of the class to illuminate future directions of learning.

CME/ CE Credits Available: 1.5

About the Speaker(s)

Chap Attwell, MD

About the Presentation

Individual psychoanalysis offers a host of pitfalls and opportunities for psychological growth through the use and analysis of transference, unconscious fantasy, dream analysis, interpretation, and a strong working alliance. Few candidates in training know that group psychoanalysis offers unique windows into the understanding and treatment of the pre-Oedipal character, early life trauma, addiction disorders, and other difficult-to-formulate, unconscious, persistent struggles.

In this 90 minute offering, Dr. Attwell will introduce the class to the didactic similarities and differences between individual and group psychoanalysis as well as how they can work in effective tandem. He will then run a 30 minute experiential group to illustrate the key principles in a here-and-now focus on growth of the interpersonal ego and meaningful affective communication. In closing, the class will wrestle to link the didactic and experiential portions of the class to illuminate future directions of learning.

Learning Objectives
1. To differentiate the parameters of individual v. Group psychoanalysis
