We all experience loneliness at some time in our lives and it
often motivates people, consciously or otherwise, to enter
treatment. Yet it is rarely explicitly addressed in psychoanalytic
literature. Loneliness and Longing rectifies this oversight by
thoroughly exploring this painful psychological state.
In this book contributors address the inner sense of loneliness
that is feeling alone even in the company of others by drawing on
different aspects of loneliness and longing. Topics covered
include:
- loneliness in the consulting room
- the relationship between loneliness and love
- the effects of social networking and the internet
- how loneliness changes throughout the life-cycle
- healing the analyst 's loneliness.
Loneliness and Longing draws on both theory and practice to
discuss ways to help people to understand and cope with this
important emotional state, encouraging them to make loneliness and
longing less pervasive in their lives. This will be ideal reading
for analysts, psychotherapists, and related practitioners facing
the challenges of loneliness in their consulting rooms.
