Psychology and the Human Dilemma

by Rollo May

Book Overview

In this paperback reissue, May discusses our loss of our personal identity in the contemporary world, the sources of our anxiety, the scope of phychotherapy, and the ultimate paradox of freedom and responsibility. Whether reflecting on war, psychology, or the ideas of existentialist thinkers such as Sartre and Kierkegaard, Dr. May enlarges our outlook on how people can develop creatively within the human predicament.

Jeff

It was very good, but every human being should read Ernest Becker's: The Denial of Death, and then Norman O. Brown's book Life Against Death: The Psychoanalytical Meaning of History. These books are master pieces!

Must read

Every young psychotherapist should have to read Rollo May or some of the other existential humanistic therpapists. Homework assignments may change behavior but presence changes both the client and therapist!
