title: [August Aichhorn's contribution to psychoanalytical technique].
abstract: If August Aichhorn is remembered at all today it is as an educator. The fact that he was a psychoanalyst who made important contributions to analytical technique is unknown today. In this essay, Aichhorn's work is placed in the context of the development of active techniques after World War I. The author emphasizes Aichhorn's indications for activity in the treatment of dissocial adolescents and presents Aichhorn's innovative handling of narcissistic transference.
