The aim of this book is primarily to highlight humour?s
communicative, relational and innovative value in everyday life and
in the privileged space, carved out of everyday life, that is
psychotherapy. Chapter one describes philosophical, social and
psychological perspectives on humour. In Chapters two and three
humour is presented as a form of playing which originates in the
earliest exchanges between mother and baby and which confers
significant advantages on our adaption. In Chapter four the
relationship between physical and mental health and humour is
examined in the light of the research literature from psychology
and medicine. Chapter five restricts itself to a discussion of
psychoanalytic views on humour in psychotherapy. Finally, chapter
six reviews evolutionary perspectives of humour.
