Fair enough. I knew he didn't much like therapeutic techniques, but I assumed he had some other notion of therapy to sell. I haven't made an in-depth study of him.
He did think good health was in your head, not your environment. That was the major thinking behind his smoking research. Thus, I find it highly ironic that he died of brain cancer.
