Grace Pailthorpe and Edward Glover set up the Association for the Scientific Treatment of Criminals, soon renamed the Institute for the Scientific Study and Treatment of Delinquency (ISTD). Early members include Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and Otto Rank, and numerous psychoanalysts, such as Marjorie Franklin and Melitta Schmideberg, go on to work for the ISTD.
