Contemporary Solitude
The Joy and Pain of Being Alone
Joanne Wieland-Burston

Explores how solitude is handled in various cultural contexts, and how solitude can alternatively help or thwart personal growth. Many case examples reveal the role of psychotherapy in the search to discover the kind of space in which we can develop as individuals and yet not become closed off from the world. Illustrated. Bibliography, index.
