Rollo May as Friend to ManDepartment of History, University of lexas, Austin, Texas 78712-1163; zug{at}mail.utexas.edu; phone: 512-471-7277. Rollo May's life, so rich in its contribution to the field of psychological theory and practice, must be understood within the context of the cultural tradition of his boyhood and early manhood, that of the small town, Protestant Midwest. If Tillich, Adler, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and others shaped May's mature intellectual life, it is also true that the basic precepts of his upbringing and his first career choice-that of the ministry with its ethic of helping and healing-determined the way May would apply his later understandings within the sphere of the world.
