El humor y sus resonancias en la clínica : perspectivas filosóficas, psicológicas y psicoanalíticas.

Abstract

This research work aims to compile information in relation to humor and its resonances within the clinic through philosophical, psychological and psychoanalytic research, in addition to the use of interviews with comedy characters and an analysis of three scenes from comedy programs, applying the techniques found. A historical journey was made about humor and comedy from a philosophical and psychoanalytic perspective where its evolution through time can be identified. At the same time, a distinction of humor is proposed starting from the teachings of Freud to the analysis of the later teachings of Lacan, which serves as a basis for a better understanding of the use of jokes in therapy, along with their strengths and weaknesses. Based on a study of the categorization of 45 humor techniques proposed by Berger Arthur (2020) in conjunction with the analysis of three interviews with stand-up and theater comedians, a complete analysis of the combination of these techniques is achieved, in relation to three scenes from shows such as The Simpsons, Futurama and Dr. House.
