ABSTRACT
Sabina Spielrein was not quite out of the picture when Fate stepped in and delivered Toni Wolff into analysis with C. G. Jung. Antonia Wolff was born in 1888, thirteen years after Jung. She was, like him, a native-born Swiss. Jung’s professional reputation was just beginning to spread and several of Jung’s associates have speculated that Toni Wolff was the case referred to as Jung’s one cure of schizophrenia. Even in the later 1970s when the author interviews the surviving Jungian women who were contemporaries, Wolff’s name either evoked complete silence or a guarded appreciation of her role as Jung’s assistant. Toni became Jung’s assistant and her duties seem to have been mainly with research into the imagery emerging from his unconscious, which he later was to call the Prima Materia for all his future thought and work.
