The therapeutic uses of humor
5th International Conference on Mental Health and Human Resilience
Robin Andrew Haig
St John of God Hospital, Australia
Keynote: Int J Emerg Ment Health
Abstract
I will be revisiting selected chapters from my text, "The Anatomy of Humor, Biopsychosocial and Therapeutic Perspectives”, which Charles Thomas published in 1988, focusing on the origins of humor (and laughter), the constructive and destructive uses of humor in psychotherapy, its relationship to mood, physiology and health. I will be reviewing progress in humor research and health over recent years. Since brevity is the soul of wit and tediousness the outward flourishes, I will be brief. We will be acknowledging the important contributions to society by comedians recently departed, Sir Ken Dodd and Robin Williams.Biography
