For Levine (emeritus, social science, York U., Toronto): "Chaos is the mother of all beings." As a therapist, philosopher, and artist as well as social scientist, he explores the process of
poiesis (shaping) as the basis of expressive arts therapy. Drawing on Greek, modern, and postmodern thought, and the "art of despair" (e.g., Waiting for Godot) in 14 revised papers and
interviews, he calls for treating trauma from a creative re-imagining rather than victimization approach. The Holocaust is a particular interest. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
