title: [Dölle and Bowlby--discourses about sensitivity].
abstract: Based upon biographical information and a summary of E.A. Dölle's contributions to psychotherapy research, this paper describes how Dölle - obviously during his time in a British war prison - had some encounters with John Bowlby, father of attachment theory, and how these encounters might have influenced Dölle during his later years. These years were spent at the Catholic University Eichstätt, where Dölle tried to positively influence the development of values and their "sensitivity for sensitivity" among Catholic students. The paper concludes that Dölle probably would be disappointed if he could see current developments within science and - even more - within society.
