The chapter recounts the intimate and public missionary life of May in Greece from 1930 to 1933. He finds the experience daunting, thrust from small town American life both to the scenes of classical antiquity and contemporary conflict between Greece and Turkey. He teaches refugee kids and realizes they have seen more and experienced worse moments than he ever has. All of this leads to a religious crisis in which May commits to a personalist vision of Christianity in opposition to a typical missionary attitude of simply counting saved souls without guiding their individual growth in grace. His crisis is also an exercise in rebellion against what he sees as his father’s superficial Christianity. In all, early 1932 is a turning point in his sense of self and his vision of the future borne of both the challenge and discomfort of Europe and Salonika in particular

Despite doubts about a career in the ministry, May accepts an appointment to be pastor of a Congregational church in Verona, New Jersey. There he preached well but controversially, giving anti-fascist sermons about the civil war in Spain, decrying anti-Semitism in America as well as Germany, and publishing his first book, The Art of Counseling. In personal life, he and Florence had their first child, a son Robert.

May turns to writing a fond and interpretively acute short book on his relationship to Paul Tillich-Paulus—and runs into difficulties with Hannah Arendt’s own memoir of her marriage. He then publishes The Courage to Create. May becomes more and more alienated in New York, feeling drawn to California and its more open and psychologically progressive atmosphere. He accepts a Regents Professorship at the University of California Santa Cruz, but has a mixed time because of health problems and marital strife with Ingrid. At the same time, May becomes more critical of the more narcissistic and quick-fix nature of some of the humanistic psychology movement, and he along with others convene as theory conference to establish a more serious and scientifically sound basis for the movement,also one that focused on social issues in addition to personal well-being. By fall 1975, he moves to Tiburon, California, and separates from Ingrid.

Paul Tillich’s death In 1965 marks a turning point in May’s life, one in which he mourned his mentor but also declared his freedom from Tillich’s watchful influence. As the war in Vietnam heats up, May becomes active in various professional groups seeking an end to the war. He also found himself drawing closer to colleagues in California. A key moment in his public visibility came with being featured as a prophet in the newly created monthly, Psychology Today.

The author recounts and interprets May’s reactions to the three most major issues in American life of the early 1970s—Vietnam, civil rights, and women’s rights. He publishes Power and Innocence, which reads the cultural upheaval in terms of powerlessness, and appears on the Dick Cavett Show seated between Hugh Hefner and feminist Susan Brownmiller.

In moving to California, May became a major force in the ongoing establishment of training programs and other aspects of humanistic psychology. He mentored a number of students who came to have important careers and developed an important friendship with Irvin Yalom. Within AHP, he engaged in a battle with advocates of “transpersonal psychology” because he thought they confused religion with psychology. He published two more major books, Freedom and Destiny and The Cry for Myth. And, after a problematic period in the wake of his divorce from Ingrid, he met and married Georgia Johnson, now Georgia Lee May. After two strokes, he begins to fail and, in 1994, dies a peaceful death in the company of his wife and Irvin Yalom.

Publishing The Meaning of Anxiety and having experience as a psychotherapist place May in a favorable position to be an influence on the profession. In addition to his practice, he takes the lead for the New York State Psychological Association in the legislative battle to seek a licensing law that would allow non-medical therapists from practicing without linkage to a doctor. He also found a niche at the White Institute, at first creating a pastoral counseling program linking the Institute to clergy and seminar students and then as a full-fledged member of the teaching faculty. His public and professional profile expanded with the publication of Man’s Search for Himself in 1953, a popular and accurate presentation of the ideas of Kierkegaard and Tillich, as well as his own, as they applied to everyday life in modernity. It became a bestseller.
出版《焦虑的意义》一书以及作为心理治疗师的经历，使她在这个行业中处于有利的地位。除了自己的执业之外，他还带头代表纽约州心理协会(New York State Psychological Association)进行立法斗争，争取通过一项许可法，允许非医疗治疗师在没有医生联系的情况下执业。他还在怀特学院找到了自己的位置，起初创建了一个教牧咨询项目，将学院与神职人员和研讨会学生联系起来，然后成为教职员工中的一员。1953年，随着《人对自己的探索》一书的出版，他的公众和专业形象得到了扩大，这本书通俗而准确地介绍了克尔凯郭尔和蒂利希以及他自己的思想，把它们应用到现代的日常生活中。这本书成了畅销书。

Soon May was in transition from the ministry to becoming a psychotherapist. He enrolled in a counseling program at Teachers College, Columbia University, and did coursework at a new psychoanalytic institute. Tillich introduced him to many German émigrés: Kurt Goldstein, Erich Fromm, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. His mentor also involved him in a private seminar on psychology and religion. May also wrote articles for various popular religious journals to bolster spirits during the war. He himself was disqualified from the draft because of a heart murmur.

Rollo May was born and raised in what once was considered the American heartland, the small-town Protestant Midwest. However, his family life was extremely troubled. His father was a YMCA field secretary and his mother a devout Methodist who had a stormy and ultimately dysfunctional family life. Rollo sought escape in nature and tried to fulfil especially his mother’s sense of her son’s destiny. He was shy, resentful of his family’s relative poverty, and felt caught between the battles his father and mother constantly waged. Still, he saw his future in “religious work” and being a “friend to man.”
