Here is the fascinating testimony and guide of a practitioner of the expressive therapies who never left the core of the matter: the arts. Ellen Levine, an articulate teacher and well-experienced therapist, speaks a passionate language that asserts a commitment to the creative process and affirms a truly phenomenologically-oriented practice of interpretation. Based on this expertise, she eloquently presents a rich body of theory that comes out of the psychoanalytic perspective. What a great gift from an 'arts-indigenous' scholar to the expressive therapies training community. --Paolo Knill, coauthor, Minstrels of Soul: Intermodal Expressive Therapy <br>
