John Lennon underwent Primal Therapy (developed by psychiatrist Dr. Arthur Janov, author of The Primal Scream) during 1970, as did wife Yoko Ono. It allowed him to discover the source of his emotional pain (then called "neurosis"), which manifested in his occasional mistreatment of other people (women in particular), and drug and alcohol abuse.
Lennon suffered deep emotional scars from his virtual abandonment by his parents, his aunt Mimi's overprotection and manipulation, and personal losses and frustrations in his early life. The release he felt as he went through therapy drove him to write new, starkly personal songs, which were the basis of his album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
While Lennon terminated therapy early (at Yoko's instigation), it did help him to get his feelings in perspective, and to move on from many bad early experiences. Janov was also able to help Lennon visit the United States (by obtaining a medical visa, on the grounds that Lennon was "seeing a psychiatrist"), which he had not been able to do since his 1968 arrest in London for hashish possession.
