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. Loneliness: The Experience of Emotional and Social Isolation 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":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651956072501,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262230674","price":126.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262230674.jpg?v=1781847442","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/loneliness-the-experience-of-emotional-and-social-isolation-9780262230674","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
