Description
   Dr. Max Wertheimer (1880–1943), founder of Gestalt psychology. Wertheimer was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. After studying philosophy and psychology, he spent some years in independent investigation until in 1910 he arrived at the University of Frankfort, where he began the studies with which his name is connected. There he met Wolfgang Koehler and Kurt Koffka, with whom he formed a lifelong association and who helped pioneer the Gestalt movement. In 1916 he went to lecture at Berlin University and returned to Frankfort in 1929 as professor of psychology. With the rise of Hitler in 1933 Wertheimer emigrated with his family to the United States, joining the faculty of the New School for Social Research in New York City.
