In one survey, a quarter of Americans interviewed said that they had suffered from loneliness within the past few weeks. Yet for a condition so pervasive, loneliness has received little professional attention. \u003ci\u003eLoneliness: The Experience of Emotional and Social Isolation\u003c\/i\u003e brings together papers which attempt to capture the phenomena of loneliness with case materials that illuminate the descriptive and theoretical acccounts. It is organized into seven sections, covering: explanations for the neglect of loneliness, and an attept to describe the condition; mechanisms underlying some forms of loneliness; a discussion of situations in which loneliness is commonly found; loneliness among those suffering the loss of a loved one; the loneliness of social isolation; resources available to the lonely; and, finally, a look at issues yet to be dealt with and some suggestions for the management of loneliness. This book is a useful resource for social scientists, clinicians, and individuals who now or in the future may suffer from loneliness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592300314775,"sku":"9780262730419","price":4515.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780262730419.webp?v=1774977188","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/loneliness-the-experience-of-emotional-and-social-isolation-9780262730419","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
