From Todd McGowan’s Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan loc 1152:
For his part, Heidegger never even attempted to work through Lacan’s theory. When Lacan sent him a copy of his Écrits in 1966, Heidegger claimed in response, “It seems to me the psychiatrist needs a psychiatrist.”16 Like many of Lacan’s readers, Heidegger couldn’t make head nor tail of the written essays because he did not have the transcripts of the much more intelligible seminars to consult.
