Abstract

Gestaltpsychologie had its birth in the fertile intellectual climate of Frankfurt am Main several years before the official founding of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University at Frankfurt. Among those in the group surrounding Max Wertheimer and applying his ideas each to their own special problems were Kurt Koffka, Wolfgang Köhler, and Gabriele Gräfin von Wartensleben. In addition to being the first woman to receive a doctor of philosophy degree from the University of Vienna, Von Wartensleben was the first person to publish a didactic statement of Wertheimer's general principles of Gestalttheorie.
