The Handbook discusses these, but abundantly treats the other side solitude that fosters insight, connection, creativity, introspection, healing, and enlightenment. This is a badly needed and broadly focused antidote for the negative approach, and its group of expert contributors provides a fuller understanding of a state people often experience, and sometimes need.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003ePeter Suedfeld\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDean Emeritus of Graduate Studies and Professor Emeritus of Psychology, The University of British Columbia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis large volume is a veritable feast of information and perspectives on the important topic of solitude.
