Life

Jaffé was born on 20 February 1903 to Jewish parents in Berlin, Germany, where she studied psychology at Hamburg, before fleeing the Nazis in the thirties to Switzerland.

Jung Institute in Zurich, before working as Jung's personal secretary from 1955-1961. She continued to provide analyses and dream interpretations into her eighties.
