The psychological journey to and from loneliness : development, causes, and effects of social and emotional isolation
There are three universal experiences that we cannot escape: loneliness, illness, and death. This title addresses what was termed the plague of the 21st century - loneliness. Loneliness is stigmatized in our society, so untold number of people walk around lonely, unable to do what is so naturally called for - make their suffering known, and approach others for company and support. Thankfully, loneliness is slowly, but steadily, coming out of the 'closet.' This book will highlight not only the experience and what can be done about it, but also the experiences that influence it (i.e., our childhood, cultural and religious influences, and our way of life) as well as the effects that loneliness has on various population groups and how it is experienced at different times in our lives.

Sex and Sexuality: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. A Sex Therapist's Perspective
Human sexuality touches all of us, pun intended. We all either enjoy it, struggle with it, or may have been its victims. Humanity has dealt with this central issue for decades, and we still continue to learn as science and research are progressing and developing. When discussing sexuality, we mean human sexual functioning, the physiology of sex, the hormones involved and how they affect us, and the cultural norms related to it. However, when sex is not functional it is a problem that can affect us in significant ways. This book will describe and explore its causes and the reasons that those dysfunctions are maintained, and what treatment methods have been proven successful. Amongst its other contributions, this book will place sexuality where it belongs: within the context of relationships, and will demonstrate how it is related to intimacy and may enhance it, how it may be negatively influenced by destructive relationships, and how dysfunctions or paraphilias may influence the intimate union. This book covers issues, angles, and points of view which are not commonly covered in sex books for the general public, replete with recent and updated information.

The COVID-19 era: How therapists can diminish burnout symptoms through self-care
COVID-19 is a frightening, stress-inducing, and unchartered territory for all. It is suggested that stress, loneliness, and the emotional toll of the pandemic will result in increased numbers of those who will seek psychological intervention, need support, and guidance on how to cope with a time period that none of us were prepared for. Psychologists, in general, are trained in and know how to help others. They are less effective in taking care of themselves, so that they can be their best in helping others. The article, which aims to heighten clinicians’ awareness of the need for self-care, especially now in the post-pandemic era, describes the demanding nature of psychotherapy and the initial resistance by therapists to engage in self-care, and outlines the consequences of neglecting to care for themselves. We covered the demanding nature of psychotherapy and its grinding trajectory, the loneliness and isolation felt by clinicians in private practice, the professional hazards faced by those caring for others, and the creative and insightful ways that mental health practitioners can care for themselves for the good of their clients, their families, and obviously, themselves.

The Correlates of Loneliness
Loneliness has been described by modern psychologists as a 21st century epidemic, as it has been the subject of numerous news headlines in many regions. While many elderly people are affected by loneliness, the phenomenon has been increasingly observed by sociologists in younger individuals as well, including adolescents and university students. The correlates of loneliness is a collection of articles written by leading experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, social work and education, which examine how loneliness affects the various aspects of human lives, such as mental health, relationships, growing up, educational experiences, and the ability to be and remain an integral part of society.
The book explains the concept of loneliness in psychological theory and presents a few studies on loneliness among different populations (including a case study on Finnish people).
Written in a clear and systematic manner, The correlates of loneliness is the definitive beginners reference on the topic of loneliness for academicians, sociologists, psychiatrists and general readers.

Private Lives in Public Places: Loneliness of the Homeless
At the dawn of the 21st century, both loneliness and homelessness are more pervasive than we would possibly like to admit. In this study, the experience of loneliness of the homeless was compared to that of the general population. Two hundred and sixty six homeless and 595 men and women from the general population answered a 30 item yes/no questionnaire. The experience of loneliness is composed of the following five factors: emotional distress, social inadequacy and alienation, growth and discovery, interpersonal isolation, and self-alienation. The present results indicated that the experience of loneliness for the homeless is significantly different than that of the general population. Gender main effects were explored and discussed.
