Marie Jahoda über Gustav Ichheiser [Gustav] Ichheiser was a brilliantly gifted psychologist, eccentric in his thought and style of life. […]Ichheiser escaped in 1939 to England and visited me in Bristol where he struck me as deeply disturbed. He criticised my relatively fluent English as treason to my background. In 1940, he went to the States, was attached to the University of Chicago where he became more and more cantankerous and antagonised an his supporters. After two or three years, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic and spent eleven years in a State mental hospital. He died soon after his release. His sad story had a posthumous happy ending: about 15 years ago, a Canadian psychologist and one at the London School of Economics discovered his early writings, were deeply impressed, wrote about him and rehabilitated his reputation.1 Marie Jahoda Albu: Reconstructions.
