Dom Thomas Verner Moore (October 22, 1877 – June 5, 1969) was an American psychologist, psychiatrist and monk. He was the "first psychiatric researcher to create symptom rating scales and use factor analysis to deconstruct psychosis."[1] He was also among the first Catholic priests to conduct influential scientific work in psychology,[2] and he developed a psychiatric paradigm based on Catholic teaching, as well as on the philosophical perspective of Thomism.[3]
