“…Nonetheless, the combined use of between- and within-group analyses yielded findings that strongly suggest that the intervention was successful in reducing loneliness. This is consistent with previous studies that used group cognitive and behavioral strategies to successfully treat loneliness and improve social functioning (Gambrill, 1995; Rodway, 1992; Rook, 1984, 1988; Rook & Peplau, 1982). In similar studies, Evans (1983) and his colleagues (Evans & Dingus, 1987; Evans, Halar, et al, 1985; Evans, Kleinman, et al, 1985; Evans et al, 1986) used goal-oriented group cognitive–behavioral therapy via the telephone among both adults and elderly people with physical disabilities.…”

“…Many of the procedural aspects of the intervention used here are based on Rodway's (1992) group therapy for loneliness, which is similar to the approach of Evans (1983; Evans, Halar, Keith, & Smith, 1985; Evans, Kleinman, Halar, & Herzer, 1985; Evans, Smith, Werkhoven, Fox, & Pritzl, 1986). Rodway used group cognitive–behavioral therapy to facilitate clients in examining the nature of and factors involved in their loneliness, determining ways of reducing loneliness, assessing various loneliness-reducing actions, as well as sharing their experiences and learning from others.…”

This study examines the effectiveness of psychotherapeutic services via computer-mediated communication (CMC). Its main purpose is to determine if goal-oriented cognitive-behavioral group teletherapy via inter-relay-chat (IRC) can reduce feelings of loneliness among chronically lonely people with physical disabilities.Using a comparison design with pretest, posttest, follow-up, and a waiting-list control, 19 participants formed 7 groups of 2-3 people. Results indicate that participants felt less lonely after intervention. Moreover, participants who completed the intervention felt less lonely at posttest than a similar group that had been placed in a waiting-list control. Furthermore, results indicate that gains were maintained at a 4-month follow-up. The results of this study are discussed, along with its practical implications and future directions for research.

“…This feeling of loneliness that we are talking about causes people to feel lonely and empty, thoughts can be distorted and reactions to some events become exaggerated. (Booth, 1996) Whether expressed or not, most people experience loneliness throughout their lives in response to events in their lives (Rodway, 1992), but some live with it for years at a time, few go through life and escape the feelings of being alone (Wright, 2005).…”

This paper aims to study the influence of loneliness at work on occupational depression among workers. In order to measure these concepts we used the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) as well as the Occupational Depression Inventory (ODI). The sample of participants on which we applied these two tests consisted of 60 people, divided into 2 representative samples, a sample of 30 women and a sample of 30 men, and the sampling method we opted for was nonprobability, i.e.convenience or incidental sampling, through which we selected participants available to contribute to this work. The completion of the questionnaires was carried out using a form that we prepared usingthe Google Forms platform, and subsequently distributed online. In order to ensure the ethics of the research, we obtained digital consent from all those involved in the research prior to the start of completion. In the statistical analysis we aimed to achieve the proposed objectives and hypotheses. According to the results obtained there is an interdependent relationship between loneliness experienced at work and occupational depression. Also in the present research, we found that the gender aspect is a rather important aspect in dealing with loneliness at work, men find it harder to cope with loneliness compared to women.

“…Seldom is the ending phase of individual sessions mentioned in the group work practice literature. A review of the Journal, Social Work with Groups from 1990-1997 revealed that out of 88 group practice articles, only four referred to the use of sessional endings: Gutierrez and Ortega (1991); Charping, Bell and Strecker (1992); Rodway (1992) and Stempler (1993). The articles indicated how the ending phase was used by facilitators and participants.…”
