This volume examines the undesirable or harmful cognitive,
emotional and behavioural side-effects of COVID-19 and of the
behavioural restrictions imposed by governments on their
populations during the pandemic. Societal "lockdowns" and other
intervening behavioural restrictions, built significantly around
social isolation, used by governments to control the spread of
COVID-19 disrupted the lives of most people. There were economic
costs for many as workplaces closed down, as well as severe
stresses on friendships and romantic relationships, an increase in
instances of abuse and domestic violence, and concerns about people
drinking too much alcohol or gambling too much as compensatory
behaviours. Understanding which people were at risk, and in what
ways, could teach important lessons for the future. Presenting a
timely review of the most recent international research and
evidence, author Barrie Gunter assesses the major collateral,
psychological side-effects of the pandemic. Looking forward, Gunter
also considers how new models might be developed that take into
account not just the need to halt the spread of a new virus, but
also minimise collateral damage which could be every bit as severe
in both the short term and long term. Identifying and analysing the
nature and severity of collateral side-effects of pandemic-related
behaviour restrictions, this is essential reading for students and
researchers in psychology, public health and medical sciences and
policymakers assessing government strategies, responses and
performance.
