Psychology and the human dilemma
The development of an existential psychology in America is in good part the work of Rollo May. He helped bring existentialism to psychology some fifteen years ago, and since then his impact has increased each year. As he says here, he isn't an existentialist in a cultist sense. In American psychology, the existential approach is part of a wider trend which includes many views" (Eugene T. Gendlin,…

Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion
The French Revolution overthrew one set of rulers and substituted another with different interests and different views.
