Homesickness is a topic which has been neglected in research. It
focuses on pre-occupation with home, family and friends and is
further manifest in terms of distress such as depression, anxiety,
obsessionality, absent-mindedness and physical symptoms. It has
much in common with agitated depression and is in many ways similar
to bereavement, and could be described as a form of post-traumatic
stress syndrome. Originally published in 1989, this title will be
of considerable interest to those who have counselling or
care-giving roles. An attentional resource model of homesickness
experience is developed, and the implications for self-help and
counselling are considered. The book will also be of interest to
cognitive psychologists, since investigation of the cognitive basis
of homesickness provides information into the way in which planning
processes operate, and in this sense there is a contribution to the
understanding of cognitive factors in change and transition.
