The Soul Keeper (2003)

Zurich, 1905. Nineteen-year-old Russian Sabina Spielrein is put by her parents in a psychiatric hospital, suffering from a severe form of hysteria and refusing to eat. A compassionate doctor, Carl Gustav Jung, takes her under his care and, for the first time, experiments with the psychoanalytical method of his teacher Sigmund Freud. Thus is born a sweeping story of love and passion, of body and soul, soaring to the utmost heights, but also plunging to the darkest depths of the 20th century. suicide attempt, switzerland, holocaust (shoah), psychology, biography, psychiatric hospital, hospital, doctor, love affair, mental illness, russian revolution (1917), doctor patient relationship, forgotten, freud, stalinism, 1920s, 1940s, 1930s, carl jung, woman spirit
