Dr. Moore was 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 led to his receiving international recognition as a major psychoanalytic theorist.
In addition to his practice of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, he also taught and served as a training analyst at the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago and lectures widely in the United States and abroad on topics relating to psychoanalysis, ethics, and human spirituality, in addition to his work 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 was 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.
Dr. Moore was 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 has put him at the forefront of theory in masculine psychology, masculine spirituality, and masculine initiation. These volumes, including:
