Series: Bloomsbury Solitude Studies

This book explores adolescents’ (10-18 years) experiences of silence, solitude, loneliness within the school setting. Although many studies explore social withdrawal and loneliness in adolescence, little is known about young people’s experiences of solitude as a state of being alone. This book ties together cutting-edge research from developmental psychology and education on solitude in adolescence, and opens the way to a pedagogy of solitude and well-being.

Sandra Leanne Bosacki explores concerns about how adolescents learn social and solitude skills and the extent to which such skills are harmful or helpful, including self-control and regulation, and self-compassion. The book further explores implications of solitude studies for practice and provides recommendations for future research and education. Holistic models of education are encouraged to promote a balance of social and solitude skills that combines social management with self-regulation and self-compassion.

Reviews for Solitude, Silence and Loneliness in Adolescence: The Teen who Stands Alone

Bosacki’s argument that dialogue with oneself is in some ways equivalent to dialogue with others casts a new light on the old question of solitude and loneliness. Self-dialogue is a constructive way of being alone with oneself. -- David R. Olson, University Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto, Canada
