Therapy, Stand-Up, and the Gesture of Writing is a sharp, lively
exploration of the connections between therapy, stand-up comedy,
and writing as a method of inquiry; and of how these connections
can be theorized through the author's new concept:
creative-relational inquiry. Engaging, often poignant, stories
combine with rich scholarship to offer the reader provocative,
original insights. Wyatt writes about his work as a therapist with
his client, Karl, as they meet and talk together. He tells stories
of his experiences attending comedy shows in Edinburgh and of his
own occasional performances. He brings alive the everyday profound
through vignettes and poems of work, travel, visiting his mother,
mourning his late father, and more. The book's drive, however, is
in bringing together therapy, stand-up, and writing as a method of
inquiry to mobilise theory, drawing in particular from Deleuze and
Guattari, the new materialisms, and affect theory. Through this
diffractive work, the text formulates and develops
creative-relational inquiry. With its combination of fluent
story-telling and smart, theoretical propositions, Therapy,
Stand-up, and the Gesture of Writing offers compelling
possibilities both for qualitative scholars who have an interest in
narrative, performative, and embodied scholarship, and those who
desire to bring current, complex, theories to bear upon their
research practices.
