Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore is the post-Jungian writer who carried Hillman’s archetypal psychology into a wide reading public. A former Catholic monk with a doctorate in religion and a practicing psychotherapist, Moore was a close student and collaborator of Hillman’s and edited A Blue Fire, the anthology through which many readers first encountered archetypal psychology in condensed form.

Moore’s Care of the Soul (1992) translated the vocabulary of soul-making into a register accessible outside clinical and academic circles while preserving the tradition’s insistence that the soul is not to be cured but attended. The graph cites Moore where the archetypal school passes into pastoral and literary practice.
