Bühler, Charlotte

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.06 sec.

Bühler, Charlotte (Bertha) (1893–1974)

German-born US psychologist who emigrated to the USA with her husband in 1940. In 1922 they had established the Vienna Institute of Psychology, a child study centre; research there resulted in the innovative World Test and major books including From Birth to Maturity (1935) and From Childhood to Old Age (1938).

She was born in Berlin, Germany, and studied at Munich under Karl Bühler, whom she married in 1916. During the 1960s, her positive view of the course of human development was embodied in humanistic psychology, which emphasized self-determination over biological or environmental determinism.
