A biographical study of August Aichhorn (1878-1949), by Dr. K. R. Eissler, appears in the 1951 edition of the English translation of Wayward Youth. Aichhorn's book was first published in July, 1925. Freud made a further short reference to it in a footnote to Chapter VII of Civilization and its Discontents (1930a).
