The Psychology of Black Humour
Having just come through a rough couple of years (Cancer - breast and kidney for my wife and almost simultaneous redundancy for me) when we made extensive use of black humour as a coping mechanism I wondered if there had been any clinical studies done into it and how and indeed if it really does help. We certainly believe it helped us keep positive and not seeing ourselves as "victims".
No particular reason for the query - just curiosity.
Thanks for any thoughts.
