Nicole Kidman is making it clear that she doesn't share her ex-husband's pessimistic view of psychiatry.
The Oscar winner reveals she didn't have to work too hard to slip into character as a shrink in the forthcoming sci-fi thriller "The Visiting".
"I have a father who is a psychologist so my life has been research", she told AP Radio, and enthusiastically added that she believes the profession can have a positive impact on people's lives.
"Yeah, of course', asserted Nicole. "I think all sorts of things do in terms of Buddhism, in terms of therapy. I think people choose things that they need that are going to help them. And obviously, I've seen my father do some magnificent work".
