Life

Johanna Liechti attended primary and secondary school and municipal high school in Bern and graduated in 1926 the Matura . For health reasons, she spent the next two and a half years in mountain health resorts. From the spring of 1929 she studied chemistry at the University of Bern (with further breaks for health reasons) . She received her doctorate in the spring of 1936 with the work investigations into the constitution of Lycopodiumsporonins . She then worked for Rudolf Signer for almost a year on methyl cellulose ; one work was published in 1937. From spring 1937 to autumn 1938 she was a chemical assistant in the clinical-chemical laboratory of the Burghölzli sanatorium . From autumn 1938 she studied medicine at the University of Zurich and graduated with the state examination in spring 1944 . From autumn 1942 she worked at the physiological-chemical institute of the University of Zurich with Bonifaz Flaschträger on her dissertation Physiological-chemical methods for blood testing and their application in the Swiss clinics , which she completed after interruptions in July 1945.

In 1942 she had married the psychiatrist Kenower W. Bash (1913–1986). As the third senior physician, she headed the Psychiatric Polyclinic Winterthur from 1948 to 1964 .

Her husband was an advisor to the World Health Organization in emerging markets. That is why he lived in Egypt for months from 1958 and in Iran from 1960. He considered the time in Iran , from which he returned to Bern in 1964, to be his happiest, and both of them continued to maintain many connections with the country. Johanna Bash-Liechti researched the social implications of psychiatry in Iran, about which she and her husband published the work Developing Psychiatry: Epidemiological and Social Studies in Iran 1963-1976 . He called her his “best but worst-paid” employee.

At the adult education center in Bern she gave the course "Basic concepts in medical psychology and psychopathology" until 1967; from 1968 she directed the three-year (eight trimester) course “Psychiatry” at the same institution .

She died suddenly in December 1980. The Persian rose garden (" Golestan ") in Wassenaar , which her husband donated to the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study (NIAS) there, is named after her .
