El Rol del Humor en la Praxis de la Psicoterapia: Perspectiva desde el Psicoterapeuta Constructivista Cognitivo
2023
Overview
Humor in psychology has generated abundant literature, highlighting its potential benefit in mental health. However, in Chile there is little theoretical-empirical research on this phenomenon in psychotherapeutic practice. This investigation is framed in the study of the use of humor by cognitive constructivist therapists, whose objective was to identify, describe and analyze the functions of humor and its effects in the psychotherapeutic process with adult patients. A descriptive qualitative methodology was used. The information was collected through semi-structured interviews with 12 therapists, seven women and five men, between eight and thirty-nine years of clinical experience in psychotherapy. Grounded Theory was used for the analysis, through open and axial coding. The results indicate that there is no single way of understanding humor in psychotherapy, that there are essential conditions for the use of humor in therapy, that there are specific purposes for its use and that its presence would generate effects in the therapist, the patient and the therapeutic relationship. A comprehensive proposal of the processes and relationships between the different elements resulting from this research is formulated, from the point of view of the cognitive constructivist therapist. Humor is considered as a constitutive part of human beings and, under certain conditions, it can be incorporated in psychotherapy as a mechanism of change in the systems of meaning of the subject’s experience, which allows contributing to the progress of the discipline.
