Rollo May

"Analyzes life as we are living it, and the analysis is truthful and profound."--New York Times

Man's Search for Himself

"Extraordinary, wise, and hopeful... nearly poetic meditations."—Boston Globe What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life but the fountainhead of human experience? What if our logic and science derive from art forms, rather than the other way around? In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement. A renowned therapist and inspiring guide, Dr. May draws on his experience to show how we can break out of old patterns in our lives. His insightful book offers us a way through our fears into a fully realized self.

The Courage to Create

An exploration of the dilemma of modern man focusing on his failure to appreciate the meanings of love and will.

Love and Will

Kendini Arayan Insan

When this important work was originally published in 1950—the first book in this country on anxiety—it was hailed as a work ahead of its time.Still just as relevant and illuminating, The Meaning of Anxiety challenges the idea that mental health means living without anxiety, and explores anxiety's potential for self-realization as well as exploring ways to avoid its destructive aspects.

The Meaning of Anxiety

May's book offers guidance in the technique of counseling and fosters an awareness of what the counseling professional brings to his or her work. The first revised edition of this landmark work.

The Art of Counseling

Rollo May brings together the ideas of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and other great thinkers to offer insight into the ideas and techniques of existential psychotherapy, of which he was a major force. He pays particular attention to the causes of loneliness and isolation and to our search for stability in order to move towards a future where responsibility, creativity, and love can play a role.

The Discovery of Being

Rollo May, respected therapist and bestselling author of Love and Will, discusses the relationships between myths and the subconscious, showing how myths can provide meaning and structure for those who seek direction in a confused world. Here are case studies in which myths have helped Dr. May's patients make sense out of an often senseless world.

The Cry for Myth

The popular psychoanalyst examines the continuing tension in our lives between the possibilities that freedom offers and the various limitations imposed upon us by our particular fate or destiny. "May is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful social and psychological theorist. . . . Freedom's characteristics, fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined. . . . Poets, social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence."—Library Journal "Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness to respect mystery. . . .There is, too, at work throughout the book a disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a tactful, meditative manner."—Robert Coles, America

Existential Psychology

Since its publication, Existence has been regarded as the most important, complete, and lucid account of the existentialist approach to psychology. From the works of the leading spokesmen of the existential analytic movement, the editors have selected classic case histories and other writings to define the approach that seeks to understand mental illness, in the words of Rollo May, "...not as deviations from the conceptual yardstick of this or that psychiatrist...but as deviations in the structure of the particular patient's existence, the disruptions of his condition humane."

Ernest Angel

Henri Frédéric Ellenberger

"This book represents the fruition of four years labor--most of it, fortunately, a labor of love. The idea of translating these papers, originating with Ernest Angel, was welcomed by Basic Books because of their enthusiasm for bringing out significant new material in the sciences of man. I was glad to accept their invitation to participate as one of the editors since I, too, had long been convinced of the importance of making these works available in English, particularly at this crucial moment in the development of modern psychiatry and psychology. We asked Dr. Ellenberger to join us as the third editor because of his extensive knowledge of the literature of phenomenological and existential psychiatry and his clinical experience in using these methods in Switzerland. He and Mr. Angel are chiefly responsible for the selection of the particular papers translated. In our introductory chapters, Dr. Ellenberger and I have undertaken the task of making a bridge between these contributions and American psychiatry and psychology, while Mr. Angel has borne the major weight of the translations themselves"--Preface.

A New Dimension in Psychiatry and Psychology

Dans L'Homme en quête de lui-même, face aux sentiments de solitude, d'ennui, ou de vide exprimés par ses patients, Rollo May cherche à comprendre d'où viennent ces angoisses qui accablent l'homme moderne. Selon l'auteur, les humains vivent dans un monde de plus en plus anxiogène et ont un besoin inné de se sentir acceptés et valorisés. Alors, comment s'extraire de ses souffrances et vivre mieux dans le monde qui nous entoure ? En quête de réponse, l'auteur nous emmène dans un voyage à la découverte de soi.

L'homme en quête de lui-même

"An extraordinary book on sex and civilization....An important contribution to contemporary morality."—Newsweek The heart of man's dilemma, according to Rollo May, is the failure to understand the real meaning of love and will, their source and interrelation. Bringing fresh insight to these concepts, May shows how we can attain a deeper consciousness.
