ABSTRACT
This excerpt from “On the Psychological Content of a Case of Schizophrenia,” Spielrein’s ( 1911 BIB-005 ) dissertation, shows important themes already present in Spielrein’s clinical work with a psychotic woman patient (and also the origin of Spielrein’s cryptic term “poetry”). It establishes her lifelong commitment to detailed, empathic observation of her patients’ and research subjects’ modes of thinking.
1911
