Humor as Intervention in Social Work and Psychotherapy
Presenter: Glenn Maloney, MSW, LICSW, LADC
1 CEU - may be counted as clinical, cultural responsiveness, or ethics
This presentation provides information about how to use humor in our work in safe and ethical ways. We will review past literature and research related to humor, identifying it as an evidence-based practice. We will consider several primary uses of humor as intervention, and share stories about how we have used these successfully. This workshop will be fun and humorous, moving the exploration of humor from being purely academic towards also being enjoyable.
