    A dangerous method film analysis

    - What are some methods of investigation used by Jung in the movie. Cite 2
    and describe how these methods work (what is the idea behind these methods
    of investigation).
    The method of Karl Jung's investigation is the word association
    method, where he would interview the patient. The method can seen being
    executed in the beginning of the movie, Carl Jung would interview Sabrina
    and try to ask her things of words that are associated together in the hopes of
    triggering something. While interviewing her, Sabrina would make this
    grotesque faces and movements as some sort of an involuntary physical
    response of her body while answering the following questions. Carl would
    write down those details and make a deeper investigation about those details.
    The second method that Jung would use is the dream interpretation
    where he would ask Sabrina of things that she dreamt of, this method can also
    be seen in the beginning of the movie. The dream interpretation allowed Jung
    to identify Sabrina's case as some sort of sexual problem.
    The premise of these methods is that it allowed Carl to understand
    Sabrina on a deeper level; however it is important to know that there should
    be limits on how it would develop to avoid problems. These two method
    something that many psychologist do, getting to know the patient and their
    problems will really help both on understanding the conflict so that a solution
    can be presented.

    - What "disorder" did Sabina Spielrein suffer from? How is this


    conceptualized (explanation or etiology) during Jung's time.
    Sabrina suffers from hysteria, with symptoms of tics, grimaces,
    laughing, and crying. During her stay in the mental sanitarium, Carl Jung
    discovered more about her case; she also developed some kind of BDSM due
    to the abuse that her father had done to her, where she becomes turned on by
    some certain actions like spanking or anything that asserts dominance over
    her those being her aphrodisiac.
    During Jung's time cases like that were dealt with already, with Jung's
    patience he was able to deal with Sabrina's uncontrollable physical reactions.
    As Jung said in the movie Sabrina is someone that is disorganized,

    emotionally generous and exceptionally idealistic. It is said that her condition
    has something to do with her fixation in her anal stage which Jung defended
    that her case is not just about that but perhaps something even more greater.

    - Cite some conflict of ideas (theoretical or personal belief differences)


    between Freud and Jung, according to the movie.
    One of the issues that these two men have in conflict is their point of
    views about the things. In one instance in the movie Jung stated that Freud is
    always insistent on interpreting everything on a sexual term which is
    something that Jung cannot agree with at all times.

    - Who is Dr. Otto Gross and how did he change Jung's behavior.
    Otto Gross is a disciple of Sigmund Freud he was sent by Freud in the
    mental sanitarian that a Jung is currently taking patients in. Gross's idea of
    not repressing changed Jung's behavior about repression. Jung was a man
    that believes in monogamy but upon hearing Gross's opinion about
    repression, Jung immediately started being under the sexual deceptions of
    Sabrina which would result in Sabrina being Jung's mistress in the movie.
