"Don't waste your time": Interview with Aniela Jaffe by Ean Beg, July 27, 1975, presented on BBC; quoted from Bair (2004), p. 379. Jung appointed Aniela Jaffe secretary of the inst.i.tute. In 1931 she had started a degree in psychology at the University of Hamburg but was forced to flee and went to Zurich. After undergoing a.n.a.lysis with Jung, she became intensely interested in his a.n.a.lytic psychology and wrote many papers on it. In 1955 she became his personal secretary and collaborator. She screened his incoming correspondence as well as informed him of interesting ideas in letters addressed to her. She was an indirect path to Jung, of which Pauli often availed himself.
