A Dangerous Method
Sabina Spielrein is suffering of hysteria caused in her childhood. She goes to the hospital Carl Jung works in. He treats her according to the Freudian method and finds that she is useful to him so he asked her to work with him. After a while, Jung is attracted to Sabina although he hates the idea of cheating on his wife influenced by Otto Gross, a new patient of him. Jung meets Freud personally who wanted to analyze this status. The story ends tragically for the four analyzers.
