Phenomenologizing Humour Amongst Filipino Psychotherapists: A Cultural Lens
This study investigates the role of humour in the context of psychotherapy from a phenomenological and cultural lens. Previous studies have delved into the benefits and risks of humour in fostering the therapeutic relationship in psychotherapy as well as its impact on achieving therapeutic goals. More specifically, we focused on humour's benefits and costs from the perspective of Filipino psychotherapists. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis as a conceptual and methodological frame, this study explored the lived experiences of Filipino psychotherapists in their use of humour in their practice. Themes of (1) the Distinct Nature of Humour, (2) Language of Comfort, (3) Pagtitimpla (Approximations of Appropriateness), and (4) Instrument for Processing emerged from the lived experiences of Filipino psychotherapists. Despite previous assumptions of humour being spontaneous, its use is more deliberate and thoughtfully considered than previously discussed. Furthermore, the sociocultural inclination of Filipinos towards humour poses significant impacts on how humour is used in Philippine psychotherapy. Additional research may build on examining humour use in therapy specifically anchored in its cultural and contextual nuances.
期刊介绍:
Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
