Abstract
Through an analytic reading of the 2 films by Elizabeth Màrton and Roberto Faenza, we revisit the relationship between Sabina Spielrein and Carl Gustav Jung, focusing their attention on the contribution it gave to the development of the concept of transference and countertransference. Elisabeth Màrton's film is more linked to the historical documentary, and Faenza inserts historical documentary in a fictional frame, bringing the spectator towards the affective, passionate level of this analytic relationship of the beginning. In the history of psychoanalysis, the therapeutic and love encounter of Spielrein and Jung represents the first attempt to testify the sufferings and errors, suffered by the 2 protagonists; they supplied the basic elements for the reflection and research of contemporary psychoanalysis on the theme of transference/countertransference.
