Book Review
Toward Understanding Loneliness in Women
A Book Essay on Judith Hearne, Turtle Diary, and Ella Mason and Her Eleven Cats
by Arlene Kramer Richards, Ed. D. and Lucille Spira, Ph. D., C.S.W.

Many women come to treatment complaining that they are alone and lonely. others who are without partners do not complain about their loneliness, but rather focus on anxiety and feelings of helplessness. Loneliness is a concept and experience that has been of some interest to psychoanalysts and novelists alike. Aloneness and loneliness can be discrete; one can be lonely in the midst of others as well as comfortable when alone (Satran,1978; Buchholz,1997.) But chronic loneliness can be toxic (Fromm Reichmann, 1959.)
