He was a central member of the psychology faculty at Loyola University Chicago,[3] and a counseling specialist.
[8] He incorporated counseling techniques that take into account the students' feelings toward their learning experience, and are meant to lower the affective filter.
His views, which were mostly promoted and tested by his students Paul G. La Forge (1971) and Taylor (1979), among others, gained particular attention and prominence in the 1980s & 1990s through the work of Jennybelle P. Rardin (1994), Keiko Komimy (1994) and Katherine M. Clarke (1989).
As a priest, he wrote several books in which he addressed the topic of institutionalized religious education, and the theological concept of sin compared to the sense of guilt in psychotherapy.
[10] In his writings, he advocated a change in the "approach to the human person" or a "return to a more ancient unified view of man".
