He discusses his development of the idea of poiesis; its relationship to therapeutic experience, including the basic concepts of expressive arts therapy work with individuals, how the therapeutic relationship is essential to understanding the effectiveness of arts therapy, and how the chaotic phase of creation brings things together; the need to go beyond descriptive methods of experience to one that includes the imagination, with discussion of images in daily life, the imaginal psychology of James Hillman, imaginative thinking about the difference between humans and animals, and the opposition between discursive thought and imaginative art; art and therapy from the perspective of classical Chinese thought; the relationship between poiesis, improvisation, and identity; and the role of arts in coming to terms of trauma and loss. Th ends with a conversation between the author and Paolo Knill that took place at the European Graduate School in the summer of 2018. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
