Table of ContentsReviewsReviews for the original 1966 edition: ‘There are about one and a third million people in Britain over 65 who live alone and for whom – even if they are physically able to look after themselves – loneliness is an acute emotional problem. As in America, this state of affairs seems to be concomitant with an affluent urban society, and too little is done about it. Mr Tunstall’s work should be of the first importance to doctors and social workers’. – Sunday Times ‘This is a thoughtful and well conceived book, which contains a great deal of useful information on loneliness and isolation. The evils and difficulties which derive from lack of co-ordination between the various services are well set out, and it is to be hoped that the book will help in leading to an improvement in the future’. – The Times Literary Supplement ‘This book should be studied both by those responsible for the statutory services, especially local authorities, and those engaged in the voluntary services. If studied, and acted on, the lot of many old people, and especially the very old and isolated, should be considerably improved.’ – Social Service Quarterly Author InformationJeremy Tunstall Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
