He is the author of many papers on Group Analysis, psychoanalysis, and child psychiatry. His collaboration with Foulkes, who became his training analyst, began at Northfield Hospital and in the early 1950s he became a founder member of the Group Analytic Society in 1952. Towards the end of his career he became Director of Psychotherapy at Chestnut Lodge, where he developed a programme of group psychotherapy for adolescent inpatients.
