## Description

desertcart.com: Power and Innocence: A Search for the Sources of Violence: 9780393317039: May, Rollo: Books

Review: An Excellent Exploration of the Sources of Violence - As a psychotherapist, Rollo May brings in many of his own cases, buttressed by pertinent external studies, to show the rage often buried deep within those who feel wholly disenfranchised and thus powerless. He explores how so many of these poor folks often create a fantasy world in which they can achieve significance and power-- with the danger that their retreat into such unreality can become a permanent pass through the looking-glass with no exit. The alternative, as he points out, is far too often "madness" (rage) AND "madness" (insanity)-- with deadly violence as its evil fruit. May avoids the psycho-babble and jargon to often found in psychotherapeutic studies and breaks down complex concepts to make them readily digestible to the layman with an interest in the subject-- all while maintaining a certain critical distance so that he may proffer theories worthy of future research.
Review: Great Author! - I bought this for a gift for someone who works as a psychologist and they told me his books are fantastic!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Exploration of the Sources of Violence

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful reading
*by K***M on November 21, 2018*

"Life consists of achieving good not apart from evil but in spite of it." This is an interesting book that depicts how powerlessness and not power breeds violence.
