About this book
In his foundational book "Existence: A New Dimension in Psychiatry and Psychology" / "An Introduction to Existential Psychotherapy" (published by Ruya for Publishing and Distribution), the pioneering psychologist Rollo May presents a groundbreaking work moving psychotherapy from narrow mechanical frameworks into comprehensive human understanding. The book traces how psychological distress can be understood as a response to major existential crises—such as confronting death, isolation, freedom, and meaninglessness. May dives with precise analytical insight into patients' experiences, illustrating how "existential anxiety" transforms from pain into an authentic drive for self-realization and courageous responsibility. Through an eloquent literary style combining psychological rigor with philosophical grace, the book offers a comprehensive roadmap for specialists and passionate readers to understand the human psyche and craft meaning amidst life's struggles.
Why read it?

Who is it for?
For psychotherapists, doctors, human behavior researchers, philosophy and psychology lovers, and anyone seeking an authentic understanding of self and crafting meaning in life experiences.
