The question of emptiness is a major theme in human and social sciences and is the subject of a major discovery in psychology: the relationship between the human being and the existential void is a central element of existence. The fear of emptiness, the absence of others, silence, boredom, and the lack of self-fulfilment are a great challenge and an opportunity for us to be authentic.

Understanding how we relate to emptiness allows each of us to build our own identity and develop our own path to live.

This collective work brings together ten original contributions which show the facets and potential psychology of emptiness. Topics covered include social issues, work-related problems, life stages and psychological disorders. Case studies and clinical vignettes are used to identify the experience of emptiness to develop skills in the practice of psychological or psychotherapeutic interviewing.

Readership: Postgraduate students of psychology, and students preparing for careers in education, consultancy, and HR.
