Barbara Hannah was born in England. She is well known for her association withCarl Gustav Jung whom she joined in 1929 in Zurich^[1] and remained so until his death.

Hannah began analysis with Jung in 1929. She befriendedJoseph L. Henderson the same year, and shared accommodation with him in Zurich.^[2] In late 1974, she acceptedMarion Woodman into analysis stating, "You are a parson's daughter; I am a parson's daughter...Jung told me that only a parson's child can handle a parson's child.'^[3]

Hannah became a close friend of SwissJungianpsychologistMarie-Louise von Franz, to whom she was introduced by Jung. He encouraged the younger von Franz to live with her, stating that "the real reason you should live together is that your chief interest will be analysis and analysts should not live alone."^[4]

Hannah wrote a biography of Jung entitledJung, His Life and Work: A Biographical Memoir.^[5] She also practised as apsychotherapist and served aslecturer at theC.G. Jung Institute.^[6]
