Abstract
Through the converging concept of 'an actor doctor,' this paper deals with an actor and its double, the emotional care giver. In the first place, actor doctors have appeared in the medical scene as hospice volunteers. But, as a developing project, the concept of 'an actor doctor' leads to a professional emotional specialist who works at hospitals during the day and performing at the stage at night. In our contemporary culture, our emotional life is threatened by various social and environmental stimuli. The role of 'an emotional specialist' in our everyday life and hospitals is very essential to our healthy life. Against the backgrounds of the high emotional intelligence and the systemic training, actors are qualified to embody this social vision. From the perspectives of performance studies and cognitive studies, this paper tries scientific explanations of the role, the function, and the techniques of an actor doctor. By doing so, this paper seeks to build a scientific foundation for an actor doctor as an emotional specialist.
