A Most Dangerous Method: The Story of Jung, Freud, & Sabina Spielrein Audiobook

" Reads like a very long thesis. Its not a novel, do not expect conversation, depictions of place and time, etc. This book, while fascinating, can be a difficult read for those without prior knowledge of a theoretical base in psychology and previous practice at reading and deciphering research. "

" Personal politics/philosophy as science with a side of spanking. "

" I just cannot continue reading this book. The back and forth between the two protagonists is not particularly engaging and the author fails to put this into a larger context. I still really do not know what the role of the woman is in the whole story. It has just degenerated into a series of minutia from letters written back and forth. "

" Having seen the movie I now must know how much was fact and how much fiction. However, had I known (before ordering online) there were 511 pages of small print to navigate, I would have been willing to stay in the dark....this is certainly going to take some getting through and likely to stay "currently-reading" for some time to come. "

" It is a fascinating account of two brilliant men and a clashing of identities. Sex, hidden liaisons; it's all here! "

" I did not quite finish this book. The book is written on a professional level, and it was much more in depth than I was comfortable with. I would highly recommend it to those who adhere to the psychoanalytic theory, as it explores the history quite thoroughly. "

" An excellent, well-worth-the-effort-to-persevere-read, for an in-depth understanding of the personalities of Jung and Freud and a very belated understanding of the importance of Sabina Spielrein. "

" A great introduction to the Freud and Jung relationship. Where they divided, where they merged, and how Sabina Speilrein influence their work without really any due credit. "

" Academic but accessible. Enjoyable read. "

" Too much by way of jargon for the general reader. "

" Itis very indepth in the description of both carl Jung's methodology and how he came to his conclusions. I like the way Kerr contrasts and compares Jung to Freud. "

" Thought it was more about the 'love story' as in the movie. This book is much more about the actual physiologists. A bit weird though, seems to be more interested in saying who went where when etc than their actual school of thought "

" Excellent book with thorough research about the foibles and frailties of early psychoanalytic icons and the way they use/used women. "

" The original documentary of Sabina Spielrein was captivating. Not to be to closely compared to A Most Dangerous Method. "

" An interesting look at the"human" side of both Jung and Freud. Seemed rather hard to fathom, that a very sick patient winds up being a love object for Jung, and goes on to be an analyst herself. "

" A fascinating book. However, it is more a book for those with medical knowledge. It is a little dry and clinical with lots of medical jargon. If this book was in plain english it would be able to reach a far wider audience, and would have been more of a captivating tale. "

" Halfway through at the moment. It's a thick read. Much more an in-depth academic inquiry than I initially suspected. But truly fascinating. "

" Changes everything you know about C. G. Jung. "

" audio -- the intro was long and this is 18 discs. Hope it is worthy of all those hours of listening. I did not finish this long dissertation. I got the idea. This is above my IQ. "
