A must for both the aspiring and seasoned artist. Uniquely geared
to the work of theatre and film artists, this book, for the first
time, sets out clearly and concisely the ideas, principles, and
character typology of various psychological schools from Freudian,
Kleinian, and Jungian to contemporary developments. The practical
uses and applications of their theories are graphically
demonstrated throughout the book by means of numerous examples and
in-depth analyses drawn from classic and contemporary theatrical
and cinematic literature. Stanislavskian methods are also
discussed. An immensely useful, essential tool for character
creation and analysis. Features a foreword by noted acting teacher
Alice Spivak.
