Todd DuBose, Ph.D.

Todd DuBose, Ph.D., is a Full Professor at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where he is the Course Stream Coordinator for the Existential-Humanistic orientation, and an advisor for the psychology and religion focus area of research and study. He has over 30 years of experience caring for others in various ways, including as a chaplain, pastoral counselor, marriage and family therapist, group therapist, play therapist, clinical professional counselor, and, currently, as a licensed clinical psychologist. He holds degrees in philosophy (B.A., Georgia State University), religion (M.Div., Union Theological Seminary) and clinical psychology (Ph.D. Duquesne University). He is interested in the integration of contemporary continental philosophy of religion and human science psychology, particularly regarding the pluralism of values in how we understand the relationship between suffering, lived meaning and practices of care. He is the recipient of both the American Psychological Association’s Division 32: Society for Humanistic Psychology’s Carmi Harari Early Career Award for Inquiry and Application, and The Chicago School of Professional Psychology’s Distinguished Award for Excellence in Classroom Teaching. He has various multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed publications, and supervises, consults and presents at local, national, and international venues, such as in the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Canada, Hungary, Belgium, Greece, Mexico, Malaysia and China. His specialization is in existential-hermeneutical-phenomenological care for persons experiencing hopelessness or meaninglessness within life situations across the lifespan that are unwanted, unchangeable, irreversible, incurable or unrelenting. He is also interested in the deconstruction of various kinds of stigmatization, the exploration and critique of assumed foundational norms and standards of care, such as models of personhood and therapeutic care, critiques of assessment and diagnostic processes, definitions of ‘evidence,’ ‘empiricism,’ ‘outcomes,’ and ‘truth,’ and unfolding what is entailed in the vocation of a human science psychologist as a “Seelsorge,” or one who practices “soul care”.

Todd is originally from Atlanta, Georgia, has lived in eight states, and currently resides in Chicago, Illinois, Todd’s avocation is venturing into the culinary arts, particular creating country-comfort-soul food from around the world. He also has a great love of animals, enjoys classic rock and smooth jazz, soul inspiring film and theater, clowning around, heart to heart chats and international travel. Most of all, he is simply a human being.
