Person
August Aichhorn
Viennese educator and psychoanalyst who applied psychoanalysis to the care of delinquent and neglected youth, most famously in Wayward Youth (Verwahrloste Jugend, 1925), to which Freud wrote a foreword. He taught psychoanalytic pedagogy in Vienna, analysed a number of younger analysts, and kept the Vienna society going after 1938.
