ABSTRACT
Vienna’s cultural history was disrupted during the Second World War. The lives of its people were overturned by the horrors of the Nazi regime. Being born at this time and place of destruction has strongly shaped the author’s experience of individuation. She sought her home in a foreign land, where she found spiritual connection and meaningful cultural threads. Learning from the richness of cultures has inspired the author’s work as a psychiatrist and Jungian analyst and has shown her the way to a fulfilling plural identity that continues to develop to this day.
