Description
Description:
Humor in the serious realm of psychotherapy? In this lively presentation, filled with anecdotes and clinical illustrations, we will explore the rationale for and practical application of the conscious and purposeful use of humor in psychotherapy. Humor can create change in the central aspects of human experience—cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and physiology. We will explore how humor can be a powerful tool to build the relationship, diagnose, and treat, and we will differentiate between empathic and hostile styles of humor.
Educational Objectives:
- Explain the link between humor and feelings, behaviors, thoughts, and biochemistry.
- Express how to consciously and purposefully use humor to build therapeutic relationship, treat, and diagnose.
