Psychiatry for Actors: Building Characters Using Psychiatric Principles is a textbook for helping actors, directors, and playwrights in creating characters in plays and films.

It is based upon Donald Fidler's 30 years of experience of teaching medical students, teaching psychiatry residents, teaching acting students, coaching actors, and writing and directing plays and films.
