Kathrin Schaeppi is a Jungian psychoanalyst and federally licensed psychotherapist in private practice in Basel, Switzerland.
A Swiss-American, Kathrin completed her undergraduate work at the University of Massachusetts and went on to earn a Master of Liberal Arts in women’s studies from San Diego State, a Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Goddard College, and a Master of Science in communications management from the University of Lugano.
After twenty years in the pharmaceutical research industry, she began studying psychology at the International School of Analytical Psychology in Zürich (ISAP), first earning a Certificate of Continuing Education followed by six years of training to become a Jungian psychoanalyst. During that time, she worked as a psychotherapist at the Sonneneck Psychosomatic Specialist Clinic in Badenweiler, Germany in a practical internship for the Swiss Psychotherapist Degree. Kathrin graduated from ISAP with a Diploma in Analytical Psychology and began private practice in 2018.
In addition to her practice, Kathrin puts her heart and soul into research, teaching, and supervision. At ISAP, she heads the Picture Interpretation Department, co-founded the Picture Collection, and serves as a member of the Zürich Lecture Series team.
Last year, Kathrin played the role of Aniela Jaffé in the stage production of Eranos: A Play alongside Speaking of Jung guests Dariane Pictet (Ep. 144) and Paul Brutsche (Ep. 147). Her essay, “About Being Aniela,” was published in the book containing the screenplay by Jungian analysts Murray Stein and Henry Abramovitch (see Ep. 47). This year, she resumed the role of Aniela in the new play, “Twilight at Bollingen,” performed at ISAP’s Jungian Odyssey in May.
Kathrin’s publications include the illustrated family chronicle Reunion: Schaeppi of Horgen (Gremper, 2002), the prose-poetry collection Cancer Mon Amour (Winterling/Dusie Press, 2009), and the creative biography Sonja Sekula: Grace in a Cow’s Eye (Black Radish Books, 2011).
Since 2011, she has been guiding tours on Carl Jung’s early years in Basel, expanding her knowledge through ongoing research and uncovering new insights into the historical and intellectual richness of the city—her birthplace and home. That research has coalesced into the new book C.G. Jung—The Basel Years: A Walking Guide (Daimon Verlag, 2025), which will officially launch at this year’s IAAP Congress in Zürich and is now available worldwide from Daimon Verlag.

Next year, Kathrin will be joined by fellow Speaking of Jung guests Christian Roesler (Ep. 127) and Sonu Shamdasani (Ep. 75) for the Psychological Society of Basel’s symposium, 150 Years of C.G. Jung, taking place at the University of Basel on February 28th and March 1st. Kathrin will be presenting her research and lead participants on a guided walking tour.
