Abiding Loneliness Loneliness is a condition of human life, an experience of being human which enables the individual to sustain, extend, and deepen his humanity. Loneliness is particularly troublesome for such disparate groups as single adolescent mothers with low incomes, alcoholics, freshman college students, divorced and widowed adults, and the elderly. In the context of existential loneliness, the goal of the therapeutic dialogue is to help the patient recover his or her own inner dialogue, to discover a deeper sense of self worth, and to open the self to the possibility of new understanding and meaning in life or illness. www.parkridgecenter.org /Page437.html   (6064 words)

Literature Review Loneliness, coping strategies and their relationship to culture, is now beginning to be looked at in some detail, especially in cross-cultural comparisons. The current project, by measuring both the level of loneliness and different types of coping strategies across cultures, may be able to provide a more cohesive cross-cultural model of loneliness and coping strategies. For example, if the levels of loneliness are different across cultures, and the coping strategies are also different, then one can begin to question whether the norm in one culture causes people to cope with loneliness in a less effective manner than people in the other culture. www.webofloneliness.com /publications/thesis/literature_review.htm   (2348 words)

Loneliness The loneliness that produces a lasting hurt is not usually that which flows as a natural consequence of our age of mobility, nor is it the desertedness that surfaces because of the spirits of independence and competitiveness that surround us. But of course the only perfect answer to the problem (loneliness) is a spiritual one, and consists in the presence of God himself, known and enjoyed by faith. The movement from loneliness to solitude, however, is the beginning of any spiritual life because it is the movement from the restless sense to the restful spirit, from the outward-reaching cravings to the inward-reaching search, from the fearful clinging to the fearless play. jmm.aaa.net.au /articles/11367.htm   (1128 words)
