Since its publication, Existence has been regarded as the most important, complete, and lucid account of the existentialist approach to psychology.
From the works of the leading spokesmen of the existential analytic movement, the editors have selected classic case histories and other writings to define the approach that seeks to understand mental illness, in the words of Rollo May, "...not as deviations from the conceptual yardstick of this or that psychiatrist...but as deviations in the structure of the particular patient's existence, the disruptions of his condition humane."

Editorial Reviews

Review

This book does not mirror current fashions in American psychiatry and psychology but does something far more important: it forecasts a future trend... -- Gordon W. Allport, Harvard University

Easily the best introduction available for Americans who have been baffled by the European phenomenologists and existentialists. A strong antidote against triviality and superficiality in psychology. -- Abraham Maslow, Brandeis University

Existence is now, simply, the major work on existential analysis in the English language. ― Journal Of Individual Psychology

This book opens up a new dimension for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. It is the dimension of the ultimate question, the question of man's nature and his place within the whole or reality. -- Paul Tillich, Harvard University

Absolute must-read for anyone working in the various fields of mental health. What has been lost in the industrialization of healing professions, and particularly through the medicalization of the soul, can be recaptured in this book.

Existence

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2000

Existence was the earliest introduction to the US of existencialism and existential psychology and we owe much of the development and growth of humanistic and existential psychology to Rollo May. The book is well written,and is of great historical and philosoical importance. This book is often mentioned as influential upon the work of Carl Rogers, Irving Yalom and others.

existential babble at its almost-worst...

Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2000

....the only piece worth having the book for is Rollo May's intro. The rest is badly written and highly jargonized psychology that pretends to be focused on the conditions of human existence but in fact goes all over the philosophical map, continually falling into valleys of unbelievable obscurity.

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2007

This book changed my life, back in my college days. The introductory essay by Rollo May is a revelation, accessible and profound at the same time. The rest of the book is unimportant. Of all the books I read in college and since, this one - that essay - has stayed with me. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2013

For those primarily interested in Rollo May's Introduction to this book, I believe it can also be found in his book "The Discovery of Being" Chapter 3 "Origins and Significance of Existential Psychology." The Discovery of Being: Writings in Existential Psychology
