• Eric D. Wittkower--a forgotten pioneer of psychosomatic medicine. Wittkower (1899-1983) was not only a pioneer of psychosomatics, but also a psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, co-founder of the Canadian Psychoanalytic Society and major exponent of transcultural psychiatry. This article tries to retrace his early years and studies in Berlin by means of autobiographical notes and archival material in the Berlin university. Then it focuses on his research and specialisation as a doctor and lecturer of psychosomatic medicine until his forced emigration in 1933.
