  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  ROBERT L. MOORE IS PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOANALYSIS, Culture, and Spirituality at the Chicago Theological Seminary where he is the senior professor in the Center for Theology, Ethics, and the Human Sciences. He is a founder and president of the Institute for Psychoanlaysis, Culture, and Spirituality in Chicago.

  Dr. Moore is one of the few psychoanalysts in the world who has studied comparative psychoanalytic theory and practice in depth, receiving a diploma in more than one psychoanalytic tradition. His work on neo-Jungian structural psychoanalysis, decoding the structures of the human self, has brought him international recognition as a major psychoanalytic theorist.

  In addition to his practice of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, he also teaches and has served as a training analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago. He lectures widely in the United States and abroad on topics relating to psychoanalysis, ethics, and human spirituality. He is also in demand as an executive coach and consultant in leadership and organizational development to business and government.

  Author and editor of numerous books in the field of psychology, psychoanalysis, and spirituality, he is editor of the Paulist Press series on Jungian psychoanalysis and World Spiritual Traditions, an interdisciplinary series relating psychoanalytic insight to the major traditions of human spirituality.

  Robert Moore is perhaps most widely known for his work on ritual process and the masculine psyche. His five-volume series on masculine psychology and spirituality (co-authored with mythologist Douglas Gillette) is the most influential theory of masculinity in today's international discussion. The structural psychoanalysis outlined in these books put him at the forefront of theory in masculine psychology, masculine spirituality, and masculine initiation.

  A comprehensive list of his audiotaped lectures and books on psychology and spirituality is available through the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago (847) 475-4848. For other information, you may consult his Web page at www.robertmoore-phd.com. Consultations may be arranged by calling him at (773) 288-7474 or by faxing him at (773) 288-7276 or by emailing him at [email protected].
