Russian Psychoanalytic Society

The Russian Psychoanalytic Society was founded in 1910

Tatiana Rosenthal and Sabina Spielrein, who were both Russian psychiatrists and graduates of the Zurich University medical school and members of the Viennese Psychoanalytical Association, were active in its establishment. Prior to the completion of her studies, Spielrein had been a patient of Jung at the Burghölzli and the clinical and personal details of their relationship became the subject of an extensive correspondence between Freud and Jung.
