| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | “Anxiety is essential to the human condition.”—Rollo May. Dr. May explores the phenomenon—anxiety—and boldly defines it as “the experience of Being affirming itself against Nonbeing.” His revised edition examines the relationship between anxiety and creativity, originality and intelligence—as opposed to the illogical belief that “mental health is living without anxiety.” The author observes and assesses the cultural, historical, biological and psychological aspects of various theories of anxiety. His clinical summaries reveal anxiety—whether normal or neurotic—to be a life-long challenge. In The Meaning of Anxiety, he seeks to clarify the basic principles valuable in confronting anxiety—and coming to terms with it.”-Publisher |
