Freedom and destiny
No full text286 p.Personal freedom is a central problem for modern men and women as well as for our society. Writing out of his long experience as a therapist, Rollo May, author of the groundbreaking Love and Will, shows how personal freedom is in daily crisis. Modern man has forgotten that personal freedom can be experienced only in juxtaposition with human destiny. The conscious freedom to think and feel and speak authentically is a uniquely human quality. Always in conflict with one's destiny, this freedom is the foundation of human values such as love, honesty, and courage. Without personal freedom there will be no lasting values in our culture. Yet destiny is the vital design of the universe expressed in each of us. May proposes the steps for our rediscovery of the relation between freedom and destiny. He emphasizes that both are intertwined and that one gives birth to the other. Yet the renewal of life can come only with a recovery of the polarity between freedom and destiny

The Renewal of Life
No full textRollo May speaks about paradoxes. To confront our anxiety is a way of the renewal of our lives. We must confront our despair if we are to experience renewal in life. Out of the balance between one\u27s freedom and one\u27s nature comes not only health in its dynamic sense but there comes also creativity. May also speaks of the paradox of authentic love arising from the fact that we know that someday we will die. These truths should give us a new approach to our values and meaning to our lives.
This address was delivered in the spring of 1982 at Sacred Heart University as the first Dr. William H. Conley Charter Day Lecture
REVISITANDO A ANSIEDADE NA OBRA DE ROLLO MAY: : DIÁLOGOS COM A FENOMENOLOGIA CLÍNICA
No full textIn contemporary times, discussions about anxiety distance it from its existential connotation, highlighting its morbid character as a symptom or mental disorder. Rollo May, an American psychologist, in the mid twentieth century points to the need to broaden this view by proposing existential psychotherapy. In this article, we carry out theoretical research aiming to investigate anxiety in the writings of this author, in dialogue with a clinical phenomenology of ambiguity. For clinical phenomenology, anxiety is part of a fundamental affective disposition that lies at the base of existence and its pathological expression reveals the impairment in intersubjective subject /world contact. Rollo May approaches this view, relating anxiety with freedom and becoming, but distances itself from clinical phenomenology by referencing an encapsulated subjectivity.En los tiempos contemporáneos, las discusiones sobre la ansiedad lo alejan de su connotación existencial, destacando su carácter mórbido como síntoma o trastorno mental. Rollo May, psicólogo estadounidense, en el siglo XX señala la necesidad de ampliar este punto de vista proponiendo psicoterapia existencial. En este artículo, llevamos a cabo una investigación teórica con el objetivo de investigar la ansiedad en los escritos del referido autor, en diálogo con una fenomenología clínica de la ambigüedad. Para la fenomenología clínica, la ansiedad es parte de una disposición afectiva fundamental que se encuentra en la base de la existencia y su expresión patológica revela el deterioro en el contacto intersubjetivo sujeto/mundo. Rollo May aborda este punto de vista relacionando la ansiedad con la libertad y el devenir, pero se distancia de la fenomenología clínica al retratar la subjetividad encapsulada.Na contemporaneidade, as discussões sobre ansiedade a distanciam de sua conotação existencial, ressaltando seu caráter mórbido como sintoma ou transtorno mental. Rollo May, psicólogo americano, em meados do século XX apontou para a necessidade de ampliar esta visão ao propor uma psicoterapia existencial. Neste artigo, realizamos pesquisa teórica com objetivo de investigar a ansiedade nos escritos do referido autor, no diálogo com uma fenomenologia clínica da ambiguidade. Para a fenomenologia clínica, a ansiedade é parte de uma disposição afetiva fundamental que se encontra na base da existência e sua expressão patológica revela o prejuízo no contato intersubjetivo sujeito/mundo.
