A Dangerous Method = Une méthode dangereuse.

Summary:

"Suffering from hysteria, Sabina Spielrein is hospitalized under the care of Dr. Carl Jung who has begun using Dr. Sigmund Freud's talking cure with some of his patients. Spielrain's psychological problems are deeply rooted in her childhood and violent father. She is highly intelligent however and hopes to be a doctor, eventually becoming a psychiatrist in her own right. The married Jung and Spielrein eventually become lovers. Jung and Freud develop an almost father-son relationship with Freud seeing the young Jung as his likely successor as the standard-bearer of his beliefs. A deep rift develops between them when Jung diverges from Freud's belief that while psychoanalysis can reveal the cause of psychological problems it cannot cure the patient"-- Provided by distributor.
"Lorsque Sabina Spielrein est laissée aux soins du médecin Carl Jung dans un hôpital en Suisse, en août 1904, pour traiter son hystérie, elle découvre un nouveau traitement tiré des travaux du célèbre Sigmund Freud : la psychanalyse. Ce traitement lui permet de se soigner et de poursuivre des études dans le même domaine, ce qui l'amène à côtoyer régulièrement et même à entretenir une relation avec Jung. En parallèle, ce dernier se dissocie lentement de son mentor, Freud, dont l'autorité est peu à peu remise en doute par de récentes disputes"-- Provided by distributor.
