 It is possible, and indeed probable, that if the outcome of his meeting with Heidegger, which might have taken place "c".1947, had been more positive in providing answers to some of the burning questions, the final shape of "The Disinherited Mind", Heller's first book, would have been substantially different, and that we would have been presented therein with manifold instances of direct engagement with Heidegger's propositions.As things stand, there are just a couple of perfunctory references to Heidegger in this, "nolens volens", most 'Heideggerian' of books.
