Born in Austria in 1907, Franz E. Winkler received his M.D. from the University of Vienna, where he specialized in internal medicine and psychiatry. He had studied under Dr. Wagner von Jauregg, neurologist and psychiatrist, who received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1927. Dr. Winkler came to America as a young doctor in 1939 and practiced in New York City. He soon saw that the moral and psychological illness of Europe was also endemic in America. He wrote many articles and lectured widely on the cause and cure of this illness.
Dr. Winkler was a member of the teaching staff of the New York Medical College, President of the Myrin Institute for Adult Education, a Trustee of Adelphi University and consultant to various schools in the New York area, including the Rudolf Steiner Schools in New York City and the Waldorf School in Garden City, Long Island. He lectured extensively and some of his public lectures were published in the Proceedings of the Myrin Institute.
He died in New York in 1972, aged 64.view less
