About the Author

Robert L. Moore, Ph.D. is Professor of Psychoanalysis, Culture, and Spirituality at Chicago Theological Seminary, and a Jungian analyst. He is known as a “cartographer of the human psyche” for his years of research and public lectures on neo-Jungian structural psychoanalysis. He presented his decoding of the deep structures of the self in the widely acclaimed five-volume series he co-authored with mythologist Douglas Gillette on masculine psychology and spirituality. His most recent book is The Archetype of Initiation: Sacred Space, Ritual Process, and Personal Transformation (Philadelphia.: Xlibris, 2001). This volume makes publicly available for the first time the original text of the pioneering research monograph Dr. Moore first presented in 1986 to the Jung Institute of Chicago entitled, “The Liminal and the Liminoid in Ritual Process and Analytical Practice.” A new essay outlines the steps in his “research journey” that led to his “rediscovering transformative space.”
