PSYC 2120 Chapter Notes - Chapter Chapter 5: International Psychoanalytical Association, Eugen Bleuler, Young Life
Document Summary
Bleuler emphasized that there were three tools for treating the psyche: patience, calmness, and inner goodwill towards the patients. Jung adopted these tools and provided spielrein with the essential therapeutic support that enabled her to entrust her wellbeing into his care. Bleuler passionately believed that activities that the patient experienced as meaningful has a powerful therapeutic effect. Spielrein entered the center in 1904 as a severely psychologically damaged patient and one year later she was emitted with full recovery and was able to carry on a life of achievement and success without mental health restraints. Following the succession of her treatment with jung, spielrein made her mark in the fields of psychiatry and psychoanalysis as a theoretician and practitioner. However, despite her contributions to psychoanalysis contributions acknowledged by both jung and freud she remained largely unknown. Spielrein is only given brief mentions with regards to her 1912 paper.
