Buchholz, Phoenix Publishing House Ltd, Bicester, Oxfordshire, 2022, 347 pp. Although loneliness has become a pressing problem in our society, even more so during the pandemic and lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, psychoanalysts write very little about loneliness and even less about solitude.

Psychoanalysis. Five essays are, moreover, authored by the editors themselves: Aleksandar
