title: [K. R. Eissler and August Aichhorn. Excerpts from their correspondence 1945-1949].
abstract: Following an introduction, which mainly provides biographical information about Eissler's years in Vienna, a considerable part (about one third) of his surviving correspondence with Aichhorn is documented. The main topics of this correspondence include: their friendship and present situation, including the experience of emigration; their current scientific work; political events; the reestablishment of the Viennese Psychoanalytical Association; and the development of psychoanalysis in the U.S. Many passages demonstrate Eissler's care for Aichhorn's material needs in post-war Vienna. Eissler, who in later years was known to be reticent about disclosing personal information, emerges from these letters as a passionately warm friend.
