ROLLO MAY
The second-oldest of six children, Rollo's grew up in small-town Ohio and Michigan in the early decades of the 20th century.
After graduating from Oberlin College, he attended brief seminars with Alfred Adler in Austria and then obtained a divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City in 1938. There the theologian Paul Tillich became his mentor. After a brief, unsatisfying stint as a Protestant minister, May embarked on a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at Columbia University with psychoanalytic training at the William Allan White Institute. His 1949 dissertation on anxiety became his third book and attracted wide interest. For nearly the next three decades, May was a Manhattan-based psychotherapist, prolific writer, and intermittent academician. His book Love and Will became a bestseller in 1969. May moved to the San Francisco area several years later, where he continued to write, train graduate students as clinicians, and lecture widely.
May also still conducted psychotherapy. Among his favorite therapeutic questions was: “What is going on with you now at the deepest level that you can get a hold of?” It’s a key question for all of us--and one sure to catalyze personal growth.
