      ab: Purpose This paper explores concepts central to acting, and details how these concepts can be related to mental health nursing practice. Design and Methods The work of the acting theorists Constantin Stanislavski and Lee Strasberg is examined and recontextualized to illustrate how their work is relevant in modern mental health practice, and the development of empathy. Findings While these concepts are still utilized in drama, they have not been fully explored in their original context. Their use could combat stress and burnout, heighten awareness, and enhance the projection of emotions. Practice Implications These concepts can be linked with reflective practice in mental health, and a stronger emphasis on the values of this approach could allow the nurse to strengthen the level of empathy they demonstrate.
