August Aichhorn—Remarks After His Death

Abstract

August Aichhorn's wealth in variations of technical devices seemed inexhaustible because it was the expression of his psychological genius; for him, every psychological situation was new, living, and fascinating. The unbreakable tie to Vienna may have been the weakness of his later years; it doubtless was a lifelong source of his strength and vitality. Aichhorn's wealth in variations of technical devices seemed inexhaustible because it was the expression of his psychological genius; for him, every psychological situation was new, living, and fascinating. Of the many stories he loved to tell, one seems to be particularly illustrative of the simplicity and directness of his method, seemingly designed to abolish a disturbing symptom, yet really opening the road to insight. Aichhorn, who had never seen the person before, arranged an interview with him one hour before the time of his next attempt to take the examination.
