As a diplomate psychoanalyst in private practice, Dr. Roloff's clinical interests have been focused upon working with artists and other professionals who are seeking an expanded sense of creativity and individuation. At the C.G.

He has lectured and taught extensively abroad.
Dr. Roloff is the author of the award winning book, The Perception and Evocation of Literature, as well as articles in literature and poetry therapy, and the psychology of performance. He has written papers on psychological growth and development, and upon the psychological implications of a culture rooted in apartheid. He is a published poet and writer, most recently commissioned by the Art Institute of Chicago for a play based upon the lives of Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe. He performed the role of Stieglitz in its premiere performance. In 1994, Dr. Roloff founded VoxHumana: the performance experience, a not-for-profit organization that explores performance art, creativity, and a score of activities, particularly in national colloquia, on arts and society. He created and inaugurated the series at Steppenwolf Theatre, Chicago, the PLAYtalks.
