Humor - Eckhard Lotze brings this often overlooked aspect of human abilities in caregiving into the spotlight. Humor, as an "attitude towards the world," holds therapeutic potential for care recipients, and even for caregivers themselves. However, this book is about more than that: Humor is capable of enhancing the quality of the relationship between caregivers and care recipients, thereby potentially improving it. With this aim, it is convincingly argued that humor should be included in the catalog of professional competencies for caregivers. Through a closer examination of therapeutic humor, the author reminds us of the origin and core of professional caregiving: the helping relationship! Caregivers are therapists - they just need to be allowed to be.
