Aniela Jaffé

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hedwig Katharina "Aniela" Jaffé (born February 20, 1903 in Berlin ; † October 30, 1991 in Zurich ) was a German - Swiss psychologist and author .

Life

As the daughter of a lawyer of the Jewish faith, Jaffé studied psychology at the University of Hamburg . In 1929 she married the Swiss physicist Jean Albert Dreyfus, and a year later they divorced. In 1934, because of her Israelite origins, she fled the National Socialists to Zurich. After an analysis by Carl Gustav Jung, she published her own books on the unconscious in parapsychology, literature and art.

She worked from 1948 to 1955 as the secretary of the Jung Institute and from 1955 to 1961 as Jung's private secretary. Jaffé was the editor of Jung's influential autobiography Memories, Dreams, Thoughts (1962), which has been translated into more than twenty languages. With numerous comments on Jung's oeuvre and specific individual topics, she decisively shaped his academic reception in later years.
