The current health situation has been described as chaotic and
devastating. Humanity's trust in the future and in its human
capacity to overcome a disaster of such magnitude is even starting
to wither away. If science still lacks a response to the pandemic,
can the humanities offer something to cope with this situation? The
world can adopt a historical perspective and realize that this is
not the first time a global pandemic has struck. Issues including
illness, suffering, endurance, resilience, human survival, etc.
have been dealt with by literature, philosophy, psychology, and
sociology throughout the ages and should be explored once again in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Handbook of Research on
Historical Pandemic Analysis and the Social Implications of
COVID-19 explores the issue of disease from a variety of
philosophical, legal, historical, and social perspectives to offer
both comprehension and consolation to the human psyche. This group
of scholars within the fields of education, psychology,
linguistics, history, and philosophy provides a comprehensive view
of the humanities as it relates to the pandemic within the frame of
human reaction to pain and calamity. This book also looks at the
impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on society in a
multidisciplinary capacity that examines its effects in education,
government, business, and more. Covering topics such as public
health legislation, sociology, impacts on women, and population
genetics, this book is essential for sociologists, psychologists,
communications experts, historians, researchers, students, and
academicians.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people had to cope with
isolation due to lockdown policies that forced them to engage in
fewer social activities. People were confined to the small space of
their dwellings and felt constrained and socially isolated and
deprived of meaningful social interaction and affection, which
caused stress and anxiety. Several initiatives were put in place to
help diminish the effects of isolation, such as those involving
literature either through writing or reading. Managing Pandemic
Isolation With Literature as Therapy explains the positive medical
and psychological effects of literature and writing during a
pandemic at a time when isolation prevented people from engaging
with others socially. Covering topics such as clinical psychology,
brain neurology, and stress, this reference work is ideal for
psychologists, medical professionals, policymakers, government
officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners,
instructors, and students.
