Born in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland on September 11, 1882, the bilingual son of a Swiss German watch-maker, he began to study medicine at Berne in 1901 and continued his studies in Zürich and Berlin. From 1906-1910 Maeder worked in Zürich as assistant physician to Eugen Bleuler and Carl Gustav Jung, who introduced him to psychoanalysis.
Beginning in 1906, he published psychoanalytic works in German: Die Sexualität der Epileptiker (The sexuality of epileptics; 1909), Psychologie der Schizophrenen (The psychology of schizophrenics; 1910), as well as articles on the symbolism of dreams, whose origin he linked to projection: Zur Entstehung der Symbolik im Traum (On the formation of symbols in dreams; 1910-1911) and the function of dreams: Funktion des Traumes (The function of dreams, 1912).
From 1911-1918, Maeder worked as a therapist in Dr. Bircher-Benner’s sanatorium, before opening his own private practice as a psychotherapist in Zürich, where he worked until his death on January 27, 1971.view less
