"To be alone is to be different. To be different is to be alone,
and to be in the interior of this fatal circle is to be lonely. To
be lonely is to have failed" (Susan Schultz, 1976) Loneliness
carries a significant social stigma, as lack of friendship and
social ties is socially undesirable, and social perceptions of
lonely people are generally unfavourable. Lonely people often have
very negative self-perceptions, believing that the inability to
establish social ties is due to personal inadequacies or socially
undesirable attributes. This book is divided into three parts. The
first part reviews loneliness in general, describing what it is and
how it affects us. The second part examines loneliness throughout
the life cycle, analysing how it affects us in childhood, adulthood
and as we age. The final part explores the connection between
loneliness and other conditions such as arthritis, eating disorders
and depression. Loneliness Updated offers the latest research on
how loneliness can affect us in our daily lives, and how it is
expressed as we travel through life from childhood to old age. It
will be a highly interesting read for scholars, students and
researchers of clinical psychology, particularly those interested
in further exploring the effects and consequences of loneliness.
This book was originally published as a special issue of The
Journal of Psychology.
