| Resumo: | In contemporary times, discussions about anxiety distance it from its existential connotation, highlighting its morbid character as a symptom or mental disorder. Rollo May, an American psychologist, in the mid twentieth century points to the need to broaden this view by proposing existential psychotherapy. In this article, we carry out theoretical research aiming to investigate anxiety in the writings of this author, in dialogue with a clinical phenomenology of ambiguity. For clinical phenomenology, anxiety is part of a fundamental affective disposition that lies at the base of existence and its pathological expression reveals the impairment in intersubjective subject /world contact. Rollo May approaches this view, relating anxiety with freedom and becoming, but distances itself from clinical phenomenology by referencing an encapsulated subjectivity. |
