Bob Fancher earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from Vanderbilt University,
with a specialization in action theory—the branch of philosophy that studies how thoughts, feelings, intentions, and
choices shape what we do.
After teaching for two years, then doing two years of research on education, he went
back to school to bring his understanding down to earth and put it to use in individualized, direct help. Bob graduated
from The Blanton-Peale Graduate Institute, a psychoanalytic psychotherapy institute in New York City. Blanton Peale is accredited
by the American Board for the Accreditation of Psychoanalysis, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy, and
the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. He practiced in New York City for fourteen years.
Bob is the
author of "Cultures of Healing: Correcting the Image of American Mental Health Care." This critically-acclaimed
book has been used as a college text at Princeton, Rutgers, University of Oregon, and many other places. He served on the
editorial board of the American Counseling Association's "Journal of Mental Health Counseling" for three years.
Bob has also published books and articles on education, sports psychology, and philosophy, and ghostwritten books,
op-eds, and speeches on healthcare, business, ethics, history, psychoanalysis, and cooking.
