Sabina Spielrein’s theoretical views in her letter to Carl Gustav Jung (1917-1918)

This article aims at analyzing the concepts of symbolism and subconscious that Spielrein presents in her letters to Jung from the period mentioned above. It is argued that, with these concepts, Spielrein further develops the theory she had begun to formulate in her early publications and attempts to integrate her own hypotheses with some ideas of Freud and Jung. This integration, in turn, results in the elaboration of an original theory of the psyche.
