Abstract

The article discusses the erasure of Sabina Spielrein, a pioneering psychoanalyst, from historical narratives due to power structures, gender discrimination, and antisemitism. Spielrein's groundbreaking work on schizophrenia and child analysis was overshadowed by male contemporaries like Freud and Jung. The article also delves into the tragic fate of Spielrein and her family during the Holocaust, highlighting the collective social amnesia surrounding her contributions. The text emphasizes the importance of remembering Spielrein's intellectual brilliance and the need to reassess historical narratives to acknowledge her significant impact on psychoanalysis.
