Popis: This paper describes the role of an actress in a program for the psychiatric education of nonpsychiatrist physicians and nurses. Not only can the actress use her skills in role-playing and simulated interviewing situations, but she can also become an active and essential member of the psychiatric teaching team. In the program described here, the actress has come to serve as an individual and group therapist and as a communications facilitator. The situations in which she can effectively serve these functions are delineated, and the general implications for a broader role for an actress in continuing education programs are discussed.
