...unfairly ripped off her professorial mentors. Says Levinson: "She is incomplete, to put it mildly, in acknowledging her use of my published and unpublished material."

...Uses of Enchantment Dr. Bettelheim finds that these adventures are not mere bedtime stories. They are life divined from the inside. Once decoded they can be apprehended as allegories of unconscious terror and yearning. "To the child," Bettelheim writes in this provocative and quirky book, "and to the adult who, like Socrates, knows that there is still a child in the wisest of us, fairy tales reveal truths about mankind and himself...
