German child psychiatrist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Homburger (1873–1930) was a prominent German child psychiatrist, hailed as a "pioneer" in the field.[1]
He taught as a professor at Heidelberg University, where he was the founder alongside Ernst Moro of the Children's Counselling Centre.[2] He wrote extensively about Haltlose personality disorder in children.[3]
Leon Eisenburg credited Homburger's 1926 magnum opus "Lectures on the Psychopathology of Childhood" as the first comprehensive source on childhood psychiatry.[4]
