Ha Ha And Aha: The Role Of Humour In Psychotherapy

First published in 1987. What distinguishes people from other animals is said to be people’s ability to laugh. Much of the literature treats humor as a normal but pathological phenomenon. This volume first describes a theory which not only views humor as nonpathological, but as contributing to the evolution of social interest. It then describes the structure of the joke and proceeds to elaborate the forms and goals humor takes in psychotherapy.Additional ISBNs9781315801766Ha, Ha And Aha: The Role Of Humour In Psychotherapy 1st Edition is written by Harold H.
