Eugen Kahn

Eugen Kahn (born 20 May 1887 in Stuttgart, Germany[1] – died January 1973 in Houston, Texas[2]) was a German psychiatrist. His "habilitation" supervisors were Emil Kraepelin and Ernst Rüdin.[3]

He argued Willenlos was a misnomer for the Haltlose, as the patients demonstrated plenty of "will" and simply lacked the ability to translate it into action.[4]
