Abstract
- May had become a public intellectual (p. 217), and throughout the turmoil of the 1960s, May's sense of having a "heroic calling remained intact" (p. 240). Rollo May (1909-1994) fused together midwestern liberal Protestantism, psychoanalysis, existential philosophy, and Paul Tillich's theology, in a synthetic and accessible writing style. In the mid-1930s, May read Otto Rank, "whom he found more compelling than either Freud or Adler, as Rank emphasized, "a therapy that sought to liberate personal spiritual and creative potentialities" (p. 81).
