Stephen K Levine is one of the few contemporary expressive therapists to have the courage to develop an understanding of the multiplicity in the theoretical foundations of a domain as wide and complex as the arts and psychotherapy. His deep roots in the philosophical tradition and thorough knowledge of more than one mode of theory and practice shine through this honest work. Texts of such achievement can only be created by a writer who has a deep understanding and firm faith in the speech of the soul and a masterful eloquence in the language of psychology. Whoever listens to this book may be enriched by the complexity unfolding in human existence, suffering and healing.
