Adlerian Treatment of a Schizo-Literary Disorder (DSM-V.007)

Because his mother never bothered to hide her lovers from him, the young Englishman took to inventing episodes in which he took dope, committed arson, tortured animals and even tarred a local wench. So finally (according to psychiatrist Jean Manevy, whose memoirs were published in France), Mum took the troubled lad to Kitzbuhel, where he underwent three months of therapy with Adlerian disciple Joshua Bierer. "I have not cured him," the doctor reported, "just turned his schizophrenia into something useful--writing." That was in 1927, and the patient lived rather happily thereafter, though his scribblings bore evidence of his earlier warp. His name: Ian Fleming. (Source unknown, possibly People Magazine)
