Overview

Loneliness can be a terrible experience and often contributes to a range of psychological difficulties. Yet, surprisingly counsellors, therapists, and other professional helpers are rarely taught how to help their clients cope with loneliness. Written specially for professional helpers, Loneliness, Stress and Well-being provides a thorough background to theories concerning the nature of loneliness and a basic introduction to its management. The authors, who have extensive experience of treating both interpersonal and psychological difficulties, provide a new hierarchical perspective on the nature of social difficulties and describe a simple method of assessing the degree and nature of the client's loneliness. They provide the helper with practical strategies for helping clients manage their social problems, going beyond the traditional skills training approaches by introducing a multi-level intervention, including thought management and interpersonal problem-solving.
