ABSTRACT:
Therapists have always considered the humor of their clients, whether to analyze it like dreams or to use it as an indicator of improved health. They even sometimes use humor themselves; to build rapport, provide comic relief, or tentatively introduce interpretations. However, they rarely use humor to tease and prod clients. I am looking at five exceptions, people who have done that: Viktor Frankl (Logotherapy), Walter O'Connell (Natural High Therapy), Harold Greenwald (Direct Decision Therapy), Albert Ellis (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) and Frank Farrelly (Provocative Therapy). In this paper, I focus on Farrelly's work and analyze whether and when it is justified theoretically and ethically.
