Humor plays a significant role in helping all of us, whether healthy or ill, gain more distance from our everyday problems, including our illness. Fears and emotional tensions that hinder a coherent problem-solving process or the development of self-healing abilities diminish. This is especially important when we are sick and need a doctor's help. The atmosphere we encounter in a doctor's office greatly influences whether we can approach an examination or treatment with trust or only with great reluctance. Diagnostics and therapy, and ultimately the success of healing, are significantly affected by this. With this slim book, the author encourages readers to embrace humor. The relaxation that occurs when we make this decision is often perceived by patients as very beneficial.
