Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2012.
Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Starting with a clinical vignette, the author questions the sense of humor in the therapeutic relationship. Humor can meet needs such as empowerment, incongruity, or the release of tension. Is it not a deflection? The author warns against the risk of not welcoming a patient’s humor by making it into a simple deflection: if humor allows the patient to expose his or her frailties and weaknesses without shame while protecting his narcissism, it places equal power between the patient and therapist, equality in the face of existential constraints. It is a way to reveal the intimate, without hatred, to the service of contact.
