Since Freud first began his journey into Psychoanalysis the Talking
Therapies have grown exponentially. Training is rigorous and
conforms to exacting rules and regulations such as those
commensurate within the British Association of Counselling and
Psychotherapy (2010), which are intended to protect the client and
counsellor alike Therefore, this work questions why the role of
humour in therapy is poorly understood, to verify if humour is
used, whether it is taught and if there is evidence of its benefits
and general awareness? Anecdotal evidence is reviewed and the
benefits/negatives of humour are also cited, however, due to the
paucity of research its dearth is prominent. Findings support that
humour was only mentioned in training but still used by virtually
all within therapy session. Lack of research, training, and
awareness therefore indicates that humour as a medium in therapy is
indeed poorly understood. This work may shed some light to those;
considering talking therapy whether qualified or not, those
deciding on research to enlighten this under-researched subject and
those genuinely interested in this exciting concept.
