Life

She was born to Alojz Rebula and Zora Tavčar, both notable Slovene writers. After finishing high school, with Slovene as the language of instruction in Trieste, she receiuved a bachelor's degree in psychology at the University of Trieste. She married Igor Tuta, a radio program editor and director.[1] They have two daughters and one son.

Work

Rebula initially worked as psychologist and is now teaching at Anton Martin Slomšek College in Trieste. Her 1999 book on developmental psychology places particular emphasis on early infant experiences; Globine, ki so nas rodile (The Depths We Are Born From) is the first work written by a Slovenian author that rejects the alienation of analytic terminology in favor of treating the subject with an increased sensibility towards the infant's needs.[2] The book was reprinted in 2009. In 2010 Alenka Rebula took part in a TV documentary on her life and work, together with another notable female author (Alenka Puhar) and her book Prvotno besedilo življenja (The Primal Text of Life). The documentary was aired by the national public broadcasting organization RTV Slovenija.[3][4][5]
