Here are case studies in which myths have helped Dr. May's patients make sense out of an often senseless world.

About the Author
Rollo May (1909-1994) taught at Harvard, Princeton, and Yale, and was Regents' Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz. An influential psychologist, he was the best-selling author of Love and Will, as well as the author of The Courage to Create, Man's Search for Himself, The Meaning of Anxiety, and Psychology and the Human Dilemma.
From Library Journal
Since his introduction of modern philosophy to American psychiatric practice in the United States ( Existence , 1958), May has provided readers with accessible texts on many psychological issues (including Freedom and Destiny, LJ 10/1/81). In his newest book he directs our attention to the psychology of our culture by providing a distinctly American portrait of the place--and displacements--of myth in our society. As is customary for this author, the text weaves case studies and considerable literary exegesis into his cogent analyses. May demonstrates his thesis--that "Each myth in human history is interpreted according to the needs of the society which it reflects"--and keeps good his promise to provide an American audience currently interested in the mythic realms of other cultures (witness the popularity of Joseph Campbell's works) with insight on our own mythology. Recommended for public and academic libraries.

Paperback. Condition: Fair. IN THIS EVER-CHANGING WORLD that we are somehow now enduring, long gone are the carefree days. Remembering my teens years like it was yesterday, riding my bike to high school, going through my small village of Amityville L.I. NY not a care in the world. I thought that life would always be like this. And then something happened;I grew up. Responsibilities, marriage, children, careers, all this called Life. As fate would have it, one day I was sitting in my room and just started to remember little sayings that my Mother would say to me, little thoughts that her Mother had told her as well, that's when my Creative thinking started to unfold as well, bringing a smile to my face and I hope it brings one to yours as well.
