It can be seen as a pioneering work, opening doors to new fields of research: actors can be considered experts of the mind/body- interaction and it might make sense to think about a psychology of acting that approaches the body/mind-controversy through the study of actors and acting.' - Gunter Losel, Theaterforschung 'This is a very interesting book for actors, directors and - as I think - also for psychologists and philosophers.
