The Therapeutic Value of Strong Language

Abstract

MY TITLE IMPLIES THAT STRONG language has a therapeutic value. I am not suggesting that foul language for its own sake, or foul language used out of habit, should be condoned, but I do assert that—in given circumstances—the use of swear‐words can relieve tension and frequently prevent physical violence.
