Taylor & Francis Humor and the Healing Arts A Multimethod Analysis of Humor Use in Health Care Routledge Communication Series
Book SynopsisOffering a social scientific look at humor's role in medical transactions, this volume is based on extensive field study in seven medical settings. It includes excerpts from dozens of actual conversations between patients and caregivers. Analysis of these episodes reveals that humor is a practical tool used to meet many medical objectives. It is used by patients to good-naturedly complain and to campaign for more personal attention, and by caregivers to get attention, make amends, insist on unpleasant routines, and establish rapport. Examining humor from many angles, the book begins with a phenomenological analysis of the essence of funny. This section describes what makes some things funny but not others, and how to distinguish between potentially funny and unfunny episodes in medical situations. From an ethnographic perspective, joking around is shown to be a persuasive element of medical culture. Examples illustrate how patients and caregivers use humor to negotiate the dialectics between helping and hurting, and individuality and compliance. Additionally, a close-up look at three medical transactions shows how humor is used to help a physical therapy patient overcome fear and queasiness, reduce the embarrassment of a mammography, and defuse a potential conflict between a student aide and a young patient. A final section examines techniques for initiating conversational humor. In sum, this volume provides an intimate and realistic look at medical conversations as they are conducted every day. It serves as a valuable complement to health communication texts and offers information of interest to health communication scholars, healthcare practitioners, and anyone interested in the effects and techniques of conversational humor. Richly grounded in naturally occurring data, the book can be understood and used effectively by both scholars and practitioners.Table of ContentsContents: Preface. Part I: Background. Introduction.

Taylor & Francis Inc The State of Affairs Explorations in infidelity
Book SynopsisThis volume brings together contributions on the study of sexual affairs in committed personal relationships. The editors enlisted colleagues with varied theoretical and methodological perspectives from Britain, the United States, and other countries. Together, their contributions provide a broad, cross-national perspective on affairs. Grounded in theoretical discussion, the chapters in this book introduce data collected by a broad range of methods, including attitude surveys, large statistical cohort studies, case studies, depth interviews, and group discussions. A number of contributors locate the theoretical discussion of affairs within the broader contemporary ordering of committed relationships, contrasting the liberating and empowering aspects of affairs with the damage they may inflict on society as a whole and on the lives of individuals and families. The themes of passion, transgression, secrecy, lies, betrayal, and gossip are common to a range of chapters throughout. The volume provides broad literature reviews and theoretical discussions concerning particular aspects of affairs, such as communication and jealousy. In addition, case studies are used for the more detailed exploration of heterosexual affairs and contemporary developments in gay male and lesbian relationships. The State of Affairs will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and students in social psychology; communication; sociology; family, social, and clinical psychology; and for practitioners in couple counseling.Trade Review"Drawing on social psychology, psychology, sociology, and family systems, with various theoretical and methodological perspectives, The State of Affairs is a rich resource for the seasoned counselor and the new professional."—The Family JournalTable of ContentsForeword, Steve Duck; Preface, Kaeren Harrison, Dennis Marsden; Chapter 1 Sex, Lies, and … Transformation, Lise VanderVoort, Steve Duck; Chapter 2 The Sociological Significance of Affairs, David H.

Taylor & Francis Inc Revitalizing Political Psychology
Book SynopsisThe goal of this book is to recapture the diminished roles of affect, psychological needs, and the psychodynamic mechanisms that are crucial for understanding political behavior by explaining and extending the contributions of Harold D. Lasswell, the dominant figure in political psychology in the mid-twentieth-century. Although Lasswell was best known for applying psychodynamic theories to politics, this book also demonstrates how his framework accommodated for cognitive processes and social interactions ranging from communications to policy-making. The authors use Lasswell's contributions and the debates over his ideas as a springboard for examining current policy, political, and leadership issues.Revitalizing Political Psychology presents and extends four aspects of Lasswell's contributions to the field: the psychodynamic mechanisms drawn from psychoanalytic theory, the use of symbol associations to understand political propaganda, the analysis of democratic charactTrade Review"... the potential of this book [is] to bring Lasswell's work to the careful attention of academics and policy analysts for whom his framework and formulations have, for whatever reasons, either fallen beneath the intellectual radar screen altogether or, perhaps more commonly, been filtered and partially eclipsed by renderings of those ideas which have been uneven at best... At least two things are clear: one is the immense burden of debt owed to Harold Lasswell by all who currently study and practice at the intersection of psychology and politics; the other is the debt of gratitude owed by all who seek a more vital and useful future for this field to Ascher and Hirschfelder-Ascher for revealing how such a future might be realized...[this book] is nothing less than a tour de force...

Brown, Kent State University"The authors' approach to Lasswell's manifold contributions is well-designed, and the comparisons with other studies and the effort to show the policy applications of various theories are admirable. The writing is clear, examples are well-chosen." - Doris A.
