Judith Kay Nelson

What Made Freud Laugh

An Attachment Perspective on Laughter

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In her characteristically engaging style, Nelson argues that laughter is based in the attachment system, which explains much about its confusing and apparently contradictory qualities. This lively book sheds light on the ways in which we connect, grow, and transform and how, through shared humor, play, and delight, we have fun doing so.
