Dear TIPSters, I have been searching for scholarly information on medical clowning and am coming up empty-handed. It seems there has been some work in Israel that has prompted the use of medical clowns in Canada and the US, but finding real research has been a challenge, at least for me. I have, on the other hand, stumbled across a website called "ihateclowns.com." I find it interesting that clown medicine has gained favor among people who wish to employ it, but many people tend to hate clowns. So in the interest of presenting both sides in my class on the psychology of humor, I've been searching for evidence of efficacy (perhaps evidence-based medicine). Anyone have any knowledge of scholarly articles? Thanks for any help you can offer. Carol
