Taking the recent coronavirus pandemic as a starting point, this
book presents and analyzes new research around medical clowning in
hospitals, from social media use to the impact on the hospitalized
child in later life. This innovative book begins with an overview
of the work of medical clowns. It discusses the idea of humor as a
mechanism related to the revolution in language and human
consciousness, and makes a connection between humor and anxiety,
exploring how this can be mobilized to support hospitalized
patients. There is extensive examination of medical clowning to
strengthen coping skills and promote wellbeing in the time of
Covid-19, where loneliness and isolation loomed large and anxieties
were high. Subsequent chapters explore the role of medical clowning
in wartime and at time of natural disasters, the experiences of
children some time after their experience of hospitalization and
clowning, and the role of social media and medical clowns in
community building. This book is a fascinating contribution to the
literature on medical clowning. It is of interest to researchers,
practitioners and lecturers in medical clowning, play in
healthcare, nursing, medicine, and performance studies.
