Untitled[edit]

Just edited out some idiocy. It appears that this is an area where the kids like to play.

The article should be edited to remove potentially infringing material sourced from this website: Rollo May biography.

Agreed I added that page under external links, why not we just erase the whole article and redirect to that webpage. 148.231.129.34 (talk) 18:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May's Books[edit]

Corrected spelling errors in spelling in title and section of The Art of Counseling.

Categorisation[edit]

Should May be included in the category "Existential therapists"? Vorbee (talk) 15:53, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see he has been placed in the category "Existential and phenomenological psychologists".Rollo August (talk) 20:24, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What did his father do?[edit]

We have this sentence, with ref. to APA obituary (not freely visible): "His mother often left the children alone, and with his sister suffering from schizophrenia, he bore much of the burden." --> Did his father also leave the children alone? Or is it known from the source referred to that his mother had custody of the children? If so, let's say so, and not just assume mothers always belong with children.
