Life and Career
On April 21, 1909, May was born in Ada, Ohio. His parents divorced, and his sister was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He had a difficult childhood. He was the first son of a family of six children. His mother used to leave the children to care for themselves, and he bore a great deal of responsibility because his sister suffers from schizophrenia. His academic career led him to Michigan State University, where he pursued a major in English, but he was suspended for being involved in a student newspaper. He attended Oberlin College and obtained a bachelor's degree in English after being asked to leave. He spent three years at Anatolia College in Greece. He worked with doctor and psychotherapist Alfred Adler, with whom his later work shares theoretical similarities. He was installed as a minister shortly after returning to the United States but stayed at the ministry for several years to complete a psychology degree. In 1942, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and spent 18 months in a sanatorium. He went back to Union Theological Seminary for a BD in 1938 and then to Teachers College, Columbia University, for a PhD in clinical psychology in 1949. May was a founder and faculty member of Saybrook Graduate School and Research Center in San Francisco.
He lived in Tiburon, San Francisco Bay, for the final years of his life. May died at the age of 85 due to a congestive heart disease. He was attended by his wife, Georgia, and others until the end.
