A Dangerous Method

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception


Click topic for LINK

A new film begins with a consternating medical case in 1907.

The plot explores the legend, Carl Gustav Jung - considered one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis and his mentor Sigmund Freud, who were great friends and collaborators until Jung's disillusionment with Freud's theory that sex and sexual repression lay at the heart of all hysteria and neurosis.

A box discovered in 1977 contained letters and a diary of a young woman Sabina Spielrein who had been a patient of Jung and also his illicit lover that led to the undoing of the bond between both men.

The unraveling relationship of Freud, Jung and Spielrein is unvieled in A Dangerous Method adapted from the book by clinical psychologist John Kerr.

Another period piece ... love tham!
