Abstract
Emil Medtner is important to Russian culture not only as a theorist of Symbolism, but also as a patient and friend of Carl Gustav Jung and one of the first Russian supporters of psychoanalysis. Here Medtner as a person is of particular interest. Complex and morbid, even in its most extreme expressions his personality reflects the spirit of the Silver Age. The first part of the present paper traces patterns in Medtner's private life as manifested in a series of love triangles. The second part briefly analyzes a dream about two sisters which Medtner discussed with both Freud and Jung and which demonstrates the specific features of his split psyche.
