Synopsis
Loneliness is one of the most significant and under-recognised mental and physical health challenges in the United Kingdom today. People of all ages report feeling lonely and the problem seems to be growing.
In-depth studies have been carried out within all age groups to both identify the numbers of people who say they are lonely and to explore the causes of loneliness. Loneliness is a significant risk factor for depression, anxiety, cardiovascular disease and premature death.
This book, Confronting Loneliness in Later Life, concentrates on older adults and sets out to highlight the actions they can take to confront and overcome loneliness
For anyone suffering from loneliness, this book:
- Explores a wide range of approaches for finding the company of others;
- Suggests ways to find pleasure for people on their own;
- Teaches techniques to help people deal with any distress associated with loneliness;
- Identifies and challenges behaviours that can lead to self-imposed isolation;
- Helps people find hope if they are feeling limited by circumstances.
Confronting Loneliness in Later Life will prove invaluable to all who read it, including those with disabilities, and will help move people forward by helping them connect with a myriad of groups that exist to provide support and assistance.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The aim of this book is to address the particular concerns of people in their later years who feel or fear being lonely. It is targeted at older people as they are more likely to experience a specific set of circumstances not relevant to younger people such as widowhood, the death of friends and relatives, mobility issues, hearing or sight loss, and the reduced social contact that arises from retirement, care requirements and the empty nest syndrome. The book is divided into three sections: a wide range of ideas for increasing social contact which could lead to making new friends and even developing loving relationships, help in coming to terms with and hopefully starting to enjoy the pleasures of solitude in ways that might not have been thought of, techniques for increasing resilience and overcoming the negative emotional effects of feeling lonely.
