Are you interested in a social lubricant, perhaps social glue, or an antidote to depression...? Stay tuned, youâre in the right place here at Radio Curious. In this edition we visit with Steven Sultanoff, who portrays himself as a mirthologist and humorologist with a Ph.D. in psychology.
Dr. Sultanoff frequently uses humor in his work, and regularly in his daily life. He and I met when Radio Curious attended the 11th Milton Erickson Psychotherapy Congress in Phoenix, Arizona in early December, 2011, when Steven Sultanoff presented a workshop about the importance of humor in psychotherapy and daily life. I laughed at some of what I heard and asked him if we could visit in front of the Radio Curious microphone. He agreed. We began our conversation when he described the role of humor in society and his professional practice.
Steven Sultanoff, Ph.D. is a specialist in the use of humor in psychotherapy. His website is www.mirthmatters.com. The books Steven Sultanoff recommends are all by Malcolm Gladwell: âBlink,â âOutliars,â and âThe Tipping Point.â
