Searchlights On Delinquency

Edited by: K. R. Eissler

From the introduction: “When his educational team was rebuilt after World War II, Aichhorn emerged not only as Vorstand but also as President of the re-established Psychoanalytic Society in Vienna. During the decade in which his own action was submerged and interrupted, his work continued everywhere on a world-wide scale. His book, Wayward Youth has become a kind of gospel and his papers the epistles to everyone whose work with juvenile delinquency was oriented to the psychological theories and methods Aichhorn h a ddevel- oped.
