A young man approached his family physician and said, "Doc, I'm afraid you'll have to remove my wife's tonsils one of these days."
"My good man," replied the doctor, "I removed them six years ago. Did you ever hear of a woman having two sets of tonsils?"
"No," the husband retorted, "but you've heard of a man having two wives, haven't you?"
Dr. Rollo MayBorn 21 Apr 1909; died 22 Oct 1994 at age 85.American psychologist who is the best known of the American existential psychologists. Much of his thinking can be understood by reading about existentialism in general, and the overlap between his ideas and the ideas of Ludwig Binswanger is great. Nevertheless, he is a little off of the mainstream in that he was more influenced by American humanism than the Europeans, and more interested in reconciling existential psychology with other approaches, especially that of Sigmund Freud. In 1958, he edited, with Ernest Angel and Henri Ellenberger, the book Existence, which introduced existential psychology to the US. |
