Description
"Aaron, a clinical psychologist, psychotherapist, and stage director, has written a definitive study of stage fright among actors. His analysis of the rehearsal process, with its displacement relationship between the actor and the director and the separation of selves that the actor seeks, along with the ambivalence toward the audience that is natural for the actorall of which contribute to the acute anxiety attack that is stage frightis detailed, convincing, and revealing. His understanding of the psychological elements that routinely produce stress in actors is profound and practical. He cites cases of documented stage fright and ties them to his own clinical, rehearsal, and performance experience. Though occasionally filled with technical jargon, this study will be of great value to actors and directors and of special interest to those fascinated by theater."--Amazon.com editorial review.
