Episode 32 of Veteran Et Cetera delves into my audio essay into "military humor". Mike Kim discusses the dynamic of military humor and remembers the humor of Gil Ott, a classmate from Yale who was also a combat veteran (Vietnam). Mike ties in Freud's concept of therapeutic humor. Also, there is information about Freud's case study called "The Ratman" involving a soldier who could have benefitted from humor as a more advanced level of coping with military stress. https://www.lacanonline.com/2013/09/reading-the-neurotics-individual-myth-lacans masterwork-on-obsession/ Obituary for Gilmore Beam Ott https://www.ithacajournal.com/obituaries/bps119114 https://www.wearethemighty.com/popular/military-dark-humor/ Follow Mike on his LinkedIn page Follow Mike on Instagram @mikekimveteran Search for Mike on Facebook @MikeKimVeteran Search for Mike at #mikekimveteran or Google him at "Mike Kim Veteran" Email Mike at agathoskim@gmail.com Tune into our CHW Streaming Radio and the full lineup at cominghomewell.com Download on Apple Play and Google Play Online-Therapy.com ~ Life Changing Therapy Click here for a 20% discount on your first month.
