"Loneliness Among Children with Special Needs" is a groundbreaking volume that examines this vitally important, but heretofore neglected topic. It is based on the shared view, from both clinical experience and research, that children with disabilities experience more loneliness than nondisabled children. This book integrates existing knowledge, research, and applications in order to provide a model for the examination and understanding of the loneliness experiences of children with learning disabilities, behaviour disorders, mild mental retardation, and emotional difficulties. Divided into five sections, the first attempts to clarify the characteristics of the lonely child, followed by a section with chapters devoted to environments and interpersonal relations. The third section is concerned with the subtyping of loneliness and adjustment and the fourth section discusses the outcomes of loneliness through coping and interventions. The final section provides a summary of the research using the proposed loneliness model for children with disabilities.
