It's there in Mental Illness and Personality (the 1954 version, not in
English), and F's intro to Ludwig Binswanger's Dream and Existence, but not
so much in Mental Illness and Psychology (1962 version). Not really there in
other later works of F's - had F read the later Heidegger by this point, and
shifted to historical ontology rather than fundamental ontology? I think so.
