- <p> DIED. ROLLO MAY, 85; humanist, psychologist and author; in Tiburon,
- California. A founder of existential psychotherapy, May declared
- in his seminal The Meaning of Anxiety (1950) that personal anxiousness
- is not merely psychological but actually quite natural in an
- age marked by the death of reassuring cultural myths and the
- reality of H-bombs--and that not much can be done to cure
- it. In such later works as Man's Search for Himself (1952) and
- Love and Will (1969), May, who was influenced by the works of
- Alfred Adler, continued to popularize "self-realization," a
- very non-Freudian insistence that within certain limits, individuals
- in fact have freedom of choice through inner resources like
- love and courage. May's layman-friendly ideas were embraced
- by a generation.
