WHY DID I PICKED THIS SUBJECT?
WHO USES FACS? Psychotherapist Interviewers Practitioners
These professionals use FACS to have a better understanding of their client because people don’t always express their inner thoughts.
AnimatorsActors
People who act/animate need to know facial expressions in order to project the correct emotions in their scenes.
DOES IT WORK?
In its most basic level FACS does produce results. But to rely on them
fully as shown in the LIE TO ME* series is not plausible. In order to put
criminals in jail one must rely on solid facts, not on the emotions. FACS can be used as a system to get facts, and are
not used as facts.
IS IT EASY TO LEARN?
I think if I where eager to learn FACS, which I am. It would be easy. But it also depends on how I learned FACS. There are two ways
to learning FACS which is a five day class at a
particular college or a CD.
