ABSTRACT
At the time of my birth, other European immigrants to North America were making major contributions to a completely different human endeavor, the study of children’s development. The work of two of these immigrants would eventually be central to my professional education:
Fritz Redl, a student of Anna Freud in Vienna, was creating Pioneer House in Detroit to treat aggressive children (Redl & Wineman, 1951), and Erik H. Erikson was gathering information to write Childhood and Society (Erikson, 1950).
