[1][2] He was in the first cohort of medics to train in Jungian analysis at the Society of Analytical Psychology in London.

At the same time, he saw the possibility of creative use of these spontaneous drives and directing them towards sports, scientific and artistic feats (The Dynamics of Creation, 1972).
