“[Wilhelm] Reich returned to Vienna where the Technical Seminars were floundering. Under the chairmanship of Eduard Hitschmann, the seminars lacked focus. Surviving minutes show discussions that veered from sexual dysfunction to Rank’s birth anxiety to ways of structuring the Ambulatorium. After two years, Hitschmann handed them to Hermann Nunberg, who gave up after only one semester.” LOL

“[Freud warned] unanalysed countertransferences could lead to therapeutic failure and encourage [analysts] to chase after that pied piper of carnality, Otto Gross.” LOL
