    “My belief is that we are going to eventually discover that the most dramatic health benefits of humor are not in laughter, but in the cognitive and emotional management that humorous experiences provide.  The experience of humor relieves emotional distress and assists in changing negative thinking patterns.” 
Steven M. Sultanoff, Ph.D.
