After reading one of Reich’s new publications, Fenichel told his colleagues in a 1937
Rundbrief
, “Reich’s themes are very exaggerated. Reich himself is monotonous or completely
meschugge
[mad]. Some of his theories are surely very interesting, even ingenious, but in the main, rational men must repudiate them.” See Jacoby,
