The Meaning of Anxiety (1950)

Existence (1956), Ernest Angel, Henri Ellenberger, and Rollo May, eds.
From the works of the leading spokesmen for the existential analytic movement, the editors of Existence: A New Dimension in Psychiatry and Psychology present writings that illustrate the fundamental concepts of this new approach - an approach which seeks to understand mental illness, in the words of Rollo May, "not as deviations from the conceptual yardstick of this or that psychiatrist or psychologist who happens to be observing but as deviations in the structure of the particular patient's existence, the disruption of his condition humane.

This book is very helpful to individuals in positions of counseling. The book has some underlining in pen but it is minimal an not distracting. The book is an out of print gem.

Love and Will (1969)

The Courage to Create (1975)
What if imagination and art are not, as many of us might think, the frosting on life, but the fountainhead of human experience?

In this trenchant volume, Rollo May helps all of us find those creative impulses that, once liberated, offer new possibilities for achievement.
