title: My experience with psychotherapy, existential analysis and Jungian analysis: Rollo May and beyond.
abstract: This article describes my initial psychotherapy experience with a psychologist who combined a client-centered/rational-emotive approach, my existential analysis with Rollo May, and then concludes briefly portraying my current Jungian analysis. I explain how I came to each of these experiences, what I learned from them, and the limitations I have recognized in them. I elaborate on the existential analysis with Rollo May, as it marked a major turning point in my life and thinking. I have been able to describe that experience with the benefit of hindsight, which I do not have with the Jungian analysis. In closing, I offer some suggestions about the role of therapy/analysis in the training of the psychotherapist.
