NOTE: This is an excerpt from the full 90-minute DVD.
http://www.thinkingallowed.com/2rmay.html

Existential psychology emphasizes philosophic rather than psychopathological aspects of the human condition. In this animated, two-part discussion, Dr. May proposes that genuine growth comes from confronting the pain of existence rather than escaping into banal pleasures or shallow, positive thinking. Genuine joy, he says, can emerge from an appreciation of life's agonies.

The late psychotherapist Rollo May was a recipient of the Distinguished Career Award of the American Psychological Association and a founding sponsor of the Association for Humanistic Psychology. He is author of numerous classic works including Love and Will, Psychology and the Human Dilemma, Freedom and Destiny, Dreams and Symbols, The Meaning of Anxiety and Man's Search for Himself.

  • Anxiety as a gateway into the exploration of the meaning of life? Anxiety as a call to creativity? What an awesome way to reframe this pressing sensation. I will never think of it in the same way again.
