Summary

Sabina Spielrein was one of the first female psychoanalysts, “invented” child psychology, and innovated some of the most famous concepts now attributed to Jung and Freud.So why don’t we know her name? Learn how an accident of translation (and some sexism and antisemitism on the side) erased this powerhouse from our bookshelves and our classrooms — and why it’s more than time to bring her back! Olivia interviews Angela Sells, author of Sabina Spielrein: The Woman and the Myth. Dr Sells has generously shared her Timeline of Events in Spielrein’s life with our readers. A complete transcript of this episode is available here. Guest Angela Sells, PhD, is a women’s studies professor at Sierra College and Meridian University in Northern California. She is the co-founder of the Open Book Press, Chair of Goddess Studies for the American Academy of Religion’s Western Region, and a book reviewer for the Journal of Popular Culture. Her book, Sabina Spielrein: The Woman and the Myth, was published by the State University of New York Press in 2017. Music for this episode generously provided by Amanda Setlik Wilson, Nico de Napoli, Michael Levy, Trialogo, and Leon Lischner. Want to help us “make history”? Become a Patron or Donate here!
