Born in Berlin, she studied psychology at the University of Hamburg before emigrating to Switzerland during World War II. In Zurich, she became one of Jung’s closest associates, serving as his secretary and later as a co-author. Jaffé played a pivotal role in documenting Jung’s thoughts and experiences, significantly contributing to the dissemination of his ideas.

Among her notable works is “Memories, Dreams, Reflections,” an autobiographical account of Jung’s life, which she co-authored and edited, providing profound insights into his personal and professional journey. Jaffé also authored “The Myth of Meaning,” exploring the symbolic dimensions of human experience through a Jungian lens.
