Dr. Erna Rosenbaum died after a short illness on August 22nd, . She was born on August 7th, 1897, in the Rhineland and brought with her characteristics of her native land: a being bound to the earth with a Dionysian zest for life. Her quick intuitive grasp of realities and the generosity of her spiritual approach made her not only the trusted friend of many, but also an analyst of standing. She belongs to the small group which founded the Society of Analytical Psychology, London. She was happily married to Dr. A. R. Redfern.
Dr. Rosenbaum, or Nea as she was called amongst her friends, came into contact with analytical psychology in the early twenties. She did not leave behind any written or published contributions to analytical psychology, her “work” was “lived” with her patients. There is, however, one important contribution which in profundity and meaningfulness speaks for itself: it was Dr. Rosenbaum to whom Professor Jung entrusted his case whose dream material became the basis of his book Psychology and Religion, and provided the material for Part I of Psychology and Alchemy (Eranos Jahrbuch , p. 14; Psychology and Religion, footnote 1, 13).
A friend, bewailing her too early death, made her epitaph in saying: “She was a real person.”
