While in the US in the 1970s, Heinz Kohut's work served as a major rescue operation for a psychoanalytic profession that was in deep crisis, the reception in the German-speaking lands was, for multiple reasons, ultimately marked by far more ambivalence. No one explicated and defended Kohut more vigorously to his professional peers as well as to a younger generation of left-leaning psychoanalysts than the charismatic Swiss psychoanalyst (and coinventor of ethnopsychoanalysis) Fritz Morgenthaler. It was, furthermore, specifically in engaged grappling with Kohut's creative clinical innovations as well as his blind spots that Morgenthaler--as a close reading of their correspondence and respective writings shows--developed his own distinctive perspectives on the enduring riddle of how best to theorize the interrelationships between "the sexual" and other realms of existence. It was also in this context that Morgenthaler became the first European analyst of any nationality to articulate an eloquent rebuttal to the homophobic consensus that had become consolidated across the psychoanalytic diaspora since Freud's death.
20世纪70年代，海因茨·科胡特在美国时，他的工作对处于深度危机中的精神分析专业来说犹如一场重大的救援行动。然而，出于多种原因，他在德语地区的接受度最终表现出了更多的矛盾态度。在他的专业同行以及年轻一代左倾精神分析学家面前，没有谁比魅力非凡的瑞士精神分析学家（也是民族精神分析的共同创造者）弗里茨·摩根塔勒更有力地阐释和捍卫科胡特了。此外，正如对他们的通信和各自著作的仔细研读所示，正是在与科胡特的创造性临床创新以及他的盲点进行深入交锋的过程中，摩根塔勒形成了自己独特的观点，探讨如何最好地从理论上阐述“性”与其他存在领域之间的相互关系这一持久难题。也正是在这一背景下，摩根塔勒成为了首位来自任何国籍的欧洲分析师，雄辩地反驳了自弗洛伊德去世后在精神分析学界散居地巩固起来的恐同共识。
