Freedom and Destiny (Norton Paperback)
Especially instructive, even stunning, is Dr. May's willingness  to respect mystery. . . .There is, too, at work throughout the book a  disciplined yet relaxed clinical mind, inclined to celebrate . . . what  Flannery O'Connor called 'mystery and manners,' and to do so in a  tactful, meditative manner.  --Robert Coles, AmericaMay is an existential analyst who deservedly enjoys a reputation  among both general and critical readers as an accessible and insightful  social and psychological theorist. . . . Freedom's characteristics,  fruits, and problems; destiny's reality; death; and therapy's place in  the confrontation between freedom and destiny are examined. . . . Poets,  social critics, artists, and other thinkers are invoked appropriately to  support May's theory of freedom and destiny's interdependence.  --Library  Journal
