Description
The Community Psychology of Loneliness is a timely, interdisciplinary exploration of how neoliberal capitalism, digital culture, and economic precarity have eroded social bonds, leaving individuals “alone together.” Drawing on psychology, sociology, philosophy, and cultural critique, Bruno De Oliveira reframes loneliness as a systemic condition rather than a personal failing. Through chapters on resilience, solidarity, urban design, and digital alienation, the book offers both diagnosis and remedy - advocating for collective care, participatory justice, and community-led repair.
The book will resonate with academics, students, activists, and practitioners across disciplines. It is ideal supplementary reading for university courses in community psychology, public health, sociology, urban studies, social work, political theory, and cultural studies. It also speaks to networks engaged in mental health advocacy, mutual aid, union organising, and civic renewal.
With its accessible style and praxis-driven approach, the book bridges scholarly insight and activist urgency. It will appeal to readers seeking to understand the structural roots of loneliness and those working to rebuild solidarity in fragmented societies. Suitable for academic libraries, NGOs, and grassroots organisations, it offers a compelling framework for reimagining community in an age of isolation.
