Jan Spielrein was a Russian psychiatrist and one of the early figures in the field of psychoanalysis. Born in 1885, she is often noted for her contributions to psychoanalytic theory, particularly her work on the dynamics of aggression and the concept of the death instinct, which later influenced Sigmund Freud's ideas. Spielrein was one of the first patients of Carl Jung and had a significant intellectual relationship with him, contributing to his development of analytic psychology.
