Training Programs In Therapeutic Humor

with
Steven M. Sultanoff, Ph.D.

For years I have been asked where one goes to get training in Therapeutic Humor. The resources have been very limited and highlighted by AATH and ISHS conferences as well as my own live training programs. Now through the wonders of the Internet I have been able to transform my "live" programs into Internet based online programs that offer a multi-media experience. All programs offer audio presentation with PowerPoint slides including cartoons as well as videos of humor illustrations and demonstrations. Some programs also offer video of the presentation itself. While the programs were developed for medical professionals the content is open to all who are interested in therapeutic humor.

3 programs are currently available online.
