Aniela Jaffé
Aniela Jaffé (February 20, 1903 – October 30, 1991) was a Swiss analyst who for many years was a co-worker of Carl Jung. She was the recorder and editor of Jung's semi-autobiographical book Memories, Dreams, Reflections.

Life
Jaffé was born to Jewish parents in Berlin, Germany, where she studied psychology at Hamburg, before fleeing the Nazis in the thirties to Switzerland.[1] There she was analysed first by Liliane Frey and then by Jung, eventually becoming a Jungian analyst herself.[2]
From 1947-1955 she served as secretary to the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, before working as Jung's personal secretary 1955-1961. She continued to provide analyses and dream interpretations into her eighties.[3]
Controversy: Jung's autobiography
Controversy has developed over how responsible Jaffé actually was for Jung's late publication Memories, Dreams, Reflections.[4] Current thinking would suggest that only the first three chapters of the published work were in fact written by Jung, the remainder being the work of Jaffé herself, if based on her notes of conversations with Jung.[5]
Symbolism and parapsychology
Jaffé wrote on symbolism in modern art;[6] and explored parapsychological phenomena using Jung's concept of synchronicity as an interpretative tool.[7]
