Bern after the Second World War, German war refugees, farmers in the Emmental, bizarre and quirky originals. The girl grows up privileged in a villa district. Her mother and father, both emotionally barren, are psychoanalytically trained doctors and idolize Sigmund Freud. This has far-reaching consequences. The reader experiences the young woman's turbulent intellectual and erotic development, her professional victories and defeats and her love affairs. As a psychotherapist, she fights against misery and for a better lot for refugees, for example in Rwanda and during the Balkan wars. The biography illustrates a fascinating piece of contemporary history. Open, self-critical and touching.

The book was awarded the second prize of the Swiss Autobiography Award at the University of Zurich in 2023.
