In 1997, Johnson was consultant psychiatrist to The Retreat, and in 1998 he was invited to become Head of Therapy at Ashworth Special Hospital.[citation needed] He has since set up an Emotional Support Centre on the Isle of Wight to assist and cure those with personality disorders, though this had to close after a few years because of funding problems.
He holds the view[citation needed] that mental ill-health is a software, not a hardware problem.[citation needed] Despite this he "divide electrons into two groups – ‘wild’ and ‘tamed’, random or organised, as in lightning or wheat" and speaks of changing quantum physics.[4] He redefines “Personality Disorders” as “Perception Disorders”, and proposes that “the Healing Hand of Kindness detoxifies trauma”.
In 2002 Johnson was involved in the psychiatric assessment of Charles Bronson at HM Prison Durham.[5]
