Rollo May April 21, — October 22, was an American existential psychologist. He authored the influential book Love and Will during Although he is often associated with humanistic psychology, his philosophy was influenced strongly by existentialist philosophy. May was a close friend of the theologian Paul Tillich. Biography May was born in Ada, Ohio in He experienced a difficult childhood, with his parents divorcing and his sister becoming schizophrenic. Accomplishments May was influenced by American humanism, and interested in reconciling existential psychology with other philosophies, especially Freud's. May considered Otto Rank to be the most important precursor of existential therapy. May used some traditional existential terms in a slightly different fashion than others, and he invented new words for traditional existentialist concepts. Destiny, for example, could be "thrownness" combined with "fallenness" — the part of our lives that is determined for us, for the purpose of creating our lives. He also used the word "courage" to signify resisting anxiety. He defined certain "stages" of development: Innocence — the pre-egoic, pre-self-conscious stage of the infant. An innocent is only doing what he or she must do. However, an innocent does have a degree of will in the sense of a drive to fulfill needs. Rebellion — the rebellious person wants freedom, but does not yet have a good understanding of the responsibility that goes with it. Decision — The person is in a transition stage in their life such that they need to be more independent from their parents and settle into the "ordinary stage". In this stage they must decide what to do with their life, and fulfilling rebellious needs from the rebellious stage. Ordinary — the normal adult ego learned responsibility, but finds it too demanding, and so seeks refuge in conformity and traditional values. Creative — the authentic adult, the existential stage, self-actualizing and transcending simple egocentrism. These are not "stages" in the traditional sense. A child may certainly be innocent, ordinary or creative at times; an adult may be rebellious. The only association with certain ages is in terms of importance: rebelliousness is more important for a two year old or a teenager. May perceived the sexual mores of the s and s, as well as commercialization of sex and pornography, as The Sex Therapist 2 How It All Began influenced society such that people believed that love and sex are no longer associated directly. According to May, emotion has become separated from reason, making it acceptable socially to seek sexual relationships and avoid the natural drive to relate to another person and create new life. May believed that sexual freedom can cause modern society to neglect more important psychological developments.
