| Lorsque la solitude de l’endeuillé découvre un espace de vie au téléphone - Michel MONTHEIL - Psychotherapist, La Rochelle (FR) | 16 nov. 2021 | 00:31:25 | |
Être en deuil n’est pas une pathologie mais la souffrance d’un destin. C’est aussi un état éprouvé par notre Moi, privé d’un être aimé qui est mort. L’enjeu d’un « travail de deuil » humain est de survivre à la perte, lorsque le sens de la vie est bouleversé et parfois disparait.Les adultes et les orphelins témoignent de cette désorganisation d’un monde contaminé par le chagrin. Le risque dépressif peut se confondre avec un risque suicidaire particulièrement fort dans la période proche du décès, ce qui fait de cette écoute une cause essentielle dans la prévention du suicide.Les endeuillés, les orphelins, vivent des expériences paradoxales : une absence et une présence intériorisée du mort. Ils peuvent vouloir le retrouver soit dans une pensée suicidaire soit dans une « pensée magique » en référence aux croyances, aux esprits ou à l’affirmation supposée véritable que le parent « sera toujours là à tes côtés ». Devant la réalité du manque de l’autre, lorsque le recours à l’imaginaire ne suffit pas, le sentiment de solitude, d’incompréhension des proches, peut envahir l’endeuillé. La rencontre d’un inconnu au téléphone répond à cette solitude qu’il vit. Elle restaure aussi un fil d’humanité où « tout peut se dire », sans jugement, du chagrin et de l’étrangeté d’avoir survécu. L’écoutant est un représentant du monde des humains qui donne le droit de se ressentir différent et de se questionner sur les lois qui régissent la vie et la mort. La parole autorise l’évocation du disparu qui devient, pour un temps, présent entre ces deux partenaires. Le téléphone à S.O.S. Amitié s'avère un dispositif d'une efficacité réelle pour redonner un espace de vie aux endeuillés isolés dans leur solitude d’être. Michel MONTHEIL - Psychologue clinicien, thérapeute de couple, superviseur d’équipes soignantes et d’écoutants à S.O.S AMITIE La Rochelle, je suis diplômé en sexologie et spécialisé sur les deuils. Je travaille au CMPP de La Rochelle (où je reçois des familles endeuillées et des enfants orphelins) et en cabinet privé. J’interviens dans le Réseau Deuil Orphelins 17. J’ai écrit plusieurs articles sur l’écoute à S.O.S Amitié et je contribue à sa Revue. J’ai également écrit sur l’amour, le couple, l’angoisse, la mort et la relation soignante.

| Tecnologie Positive: il contributo di Internet e degli interventi da dispositivi mobili per la promozione del benessere e della salute emotiva - Daniela VILLANI, Ricercatrice Univ.Sacro Cuore MI (IT) | 13 juil. 2021 | 00:32:58 | |
Negli ultimi anni c'è stato un crescente interesse verso il ruolo potenziale che le tecnologie digitali possono svolgere nel promuovere il benessere. La Tecnologia Positiva è un campo emergente all'interno dell'interazione uomo-computer che cerca di capire come le tecnologie interattive possono essere utilizzate in interventi di promozione del benessere basati sui risultati evidence-based provenienti dal mondo della ricerca. A livello teorico, la tecnologia positiva mira a sviluppare quadri e modelli concettuali per comprendere come strumenti digitali (come smartphone, dispositivi indossabili, realtà virtuale/aumentata) possano essere utilizzati efficacemente per aiutare le persone a raggiungere un maggiore benessere. A livello metodologico e applicativo, la Tecnologia Positiva si occupa della progettazione, dello sviluppo e della valutazione di efficacia di esperienze digitali che promuovono il cambiamento positivo attraverso l’induzione di emozioni positive, l’attivazione del flow, la proposta di contenuti coerenti con i significati delle persone che le utilizzano e il sostegno di relazioni positive.All’interno del presente frame teorico e metodologico, la presentazione intende focalizzarsi sul contributo specifico degli interventi a distanza (Internet Interventions) e delle applicazioni mobile (per smartphone e tablet) per la promozione del benessere psicologico e soggettivo e della salute emotiva degli individui. Particolare attenzione sarà posta alle strategie di promozione della consapevolezza emotiva e della regolazione emotiva rese possibili dalle tecnologie digitali.

| Il viaggio della speranza tra illusioni, disillusioni, risorse e vulnerabilità - Luz CARDENAS - Psychologist, Novara (IT) | 30 mai 2021 | 00:34:24 | |
Il fenomeno della migrazione attualmente è visto come un elemento strutturale in grado di trasformare la nostra società e destinato ad aumentare nel prossimo futuro. Molte e diverse sono le ragioni per cui le persone iniziano il loro viaggio verso destinazioni nuove e sconosciute. Viaggiano, con valigie piene di sogni e progetti, in luoghi in cui intendono sistemarsi, iniziando così una nuova fase della vita. Il viaggio è segnato da elementi prima, durante e dopo. Le persone in movimento acquisiscono un nuovo status, diventano migranti che significa essere immigrati ed emigrare nello stesso tempo. Il viaggio è la metafora di un'esperienza totale abbastanza forte da influenzare tutte le sfere dell'esistenza di una persona a livello psicologico oltre che economico, politico ecc. costringendo la persona a ridefinire se stessa e a trovare un nuovo modo di stare con se stessa e con le altre persone e tutto il mondo.Questa nuova condizione e il trauma che ne deriva, causano una specifica condizione di vulnerabilità nelle persone, che in certi casi può evolvere in un malessere che arriva alla sofferenza con alti rischi per la salute fisica e mentale. Solitudine, nostalgia, isolamento possono essere solo alcuni dei modi in cui appare questa sofferenza specifica. La relazione si concentrerà su queste speciali forme di disagio evidenziando l'importante ruolo di una società accogliente che ammorbidisce il colpo aiutando le persone ad orientarsi e ad assumere la nuova situazione come condizione di rinascita.

| Identità culturale, violenza e il problema della solitudine - Franco FABBRO - Professore di Psicologia Clinica, Università di Udine (IT) | 23 mai 2021 | 00:27:19 | |
Gli esseri umani, e i loro antenati (australopithecus, homo habilis, homo erectus, homo heidelbergensis), si sono evoluti in gruppi di cacciatori-raccoglitori la cui numerosità ha determinato la crescita del cervello e ha forgiato, in maniera indelebile, la loro mente. La socializzazione umana si riferisce al numero di individui che compongono le famiglie (15), i campi di pernottamento (45), i villaggi (150) e i popoli (1500 individui) di tutte le società di cacciatori-raccoglitori del mondo. Società che non rispettano questi numeri generano disagio sociale, psicologico e solitudine. Con l’invenzione del linguaggio, avvenuta circa 80.000 fa, i gruppi umani hanno cominciato a differenziarsi culturalmente. Ogni lingua, ogni cultura e ogni religione scolpiscono il cervello in una maniera caratteristica. Le identità culturali permettono di unire i componenti di un popolo e di differenziarli dagli altri popoli, favorendo l’aggressività intraspecifica tra i diversi gruppi umani. L’autore suggerisce una serie di strategie per diminuire la sofferenza sociale, la violenza umana e il disagio psicologico, nel rispetto dei numeri caratteristici che sostengono la socializzazione umana più autentica. Autore di numerose pubblicazioni. Tra le più recenti: Le neuroscienze: dalla fisiologia alla clinica (Carocci, Roma, 2016); Neuroscienze del bilinguismo (Carocci, Roma, 2018); Identità culturale e violenza (Boringhieri, Torino, 2018); La meditazione mindfulness (Il Mulino, Bologna, 2019).

| The power of contact - Julija PELC - Psychologist, DrustvoZaupnitelefonsamarijan, Ljubljana (SI) | 23 mai 2021 | 00:24:28 | |
Occasionally, solitude may be beneficial and necessary for us but long-lasting solitude may become a state of loneliness, leading to poor quality of life, the development of illness and emotional distress. The reasons for such solitude are different, they may exist within an individual, family and society ...The path out of isolation can be long and painful. Especially if a person fights against it alone, because interpersonal psychological needs can not be satisfied by ourselves! We can only satisfy them through interpersonal relationships. Without that, there is no personal, social and emotional development, including the development of the brain ... For growth and mental health, we need others, loving touch and appropriate incentives. Loneliness reflects the lack of relationships with others, where they could satisfy the needs of acceptance, security, affection, and love. Even the feeling of self emerges and is sharpened through interpersonal relationships. The quality of relationships with others depends on the quality of the contact. Contact facilitates the presence, authenticity, words that are delineated by silence, conversation, action. A good listener provides space for conversation and the time for the caller to tell what he is experiencing, what he is facing with, what burdens him. He is invited to join his loneliness. Through a quality dialogue, the listener helps the caller to keep in touch with reality, because one can not change what he does not accept! Instead of combating loneliness with a caller, it is important that we help him to explore, understand and possibly recognize that it is not important to change what a person is, but what a person does with what it is. Accepting contact based on the awareness and sincerity is the foundation that will remove the limits of loneliness and unlock its core.

| The Price of Modern Life: Depression & Loneliness - Viktor STAUDT - Writer and speaker (NL) | 16 mai 2021 | 00:42:04 | |
Loneliness today is where depression once was: a taboo, especially for the younger generation. While life is looking so good on the surface (social media), yet this 'modern loneliness' is like nothing we have seen before. During my speaking tour I have come across many young people that tell me about their loneliness, and how it can lead to depression, or even suicidal thoughts. Though we call it loneliness, I think it is more about connecting to others. Or the lack thereof. My presentation offers tools for recognizing the early signs of loneliness (depression) in teenagers and young people. As well as strategies for overcoming the stigma related to modern loneliness and pathways to help.

| Healing connection between story-teller and story-listener through stories - Ildikó BOLDIZSÁR - Fairy-tale therapist (HU) | 09 mai 2021 | 00:35:47 | |
Metamorphoses story-therapy is based on the concept that there is no situation in life that does not correspond to a story. During the course of the therapy, we find the story with the best fit for the given situation, in which the hero sets forth into the world for the same reasons and seeks to realise the same ambitions as my patient but is better able to overcome the obstacles in his path. The hero of the chosen story is not killed by the dragon or turned to stone but manages to take his journey to its conclusion. The process of therapy leads us to investigate the reasons for a patient failing to overcome the obstacles in his path. In the course of my work, I have told stories to people under the most extraordinary array of circumstances. I have told stories to babies still in the womb, to women in labor, to children yearning to understand the world around them, to teenagers yearning to understand themselves, to young adults fearing both divorce and commitment, to mature men and women, and to the dying. I have told stories at funerals and at weddings. I have told stories in prisons, reform centers, orphanages, institutes for the blind, libraries, banks, schools, university seminars, and hospitals. Stories have helped me come to know all walks of life, and in each walk of life I have told different stories to people beset with woe, as the circumstances and the person him or herself demanded. For no matter what I come across in life, a moment of joy or sadness, hope or grief, it always reminds me of a story.

| Loneliness and mental health - Diego DE LEO - Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, Griffith University, Brisbane (AU) | 02 mai 2021 | 00:28:03 | |
Loneliness has recently jumped to scholars’ attention due to a number of longitudinal studies’ results, showing its impact on health and quality of life of individuals. These evidences brought the UK Government to the appointment of a dedicated ministry. A number of other governments published national reports on this frightening phenomenon and its growing diffusion. All of these initiatives have stimulated the need for better knowledge on loneliness and its consequences on physical and mental health on different gender and age groups. So far, most attention has been dedicated to the problem of older adults; the Italian Psychogeriatric Association has dedicated the date of 15 November of every year to an “End Loneliness Day”. However, younger individuals seem also to appear very vulnerable to loneliness; the extreme isolation of Hikikomori people may well represent its peak representation. This presentation will particularly deal with the mental health side of the phenomenon, emphasising in particular influences on suicidal behaviour, possibly the most extreme consequence of thwarted belongingness. Today, raising awareness on the seriousness of loneliness for an individual’s health and wellbeing appears today of paramount importance. Actions need to be taken at different levels to counteract the consequences of loneliness. Diego DE LEO - is Emeritus Professor of Psychiatryat Griffith University in Brisbane, where is Director Emeritus of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention. Professor De Leo is Past President of the International Associationfor Suicide Prevention and co-founder and Past President of the International Academy for Suicide Research of which he co-founded the journal Archives of Suicide Research. Prof. De Leo is the Editor Emeritus of the journal Crisisand has been the initiator of the World Suicide Prevention Day (2003). Presently, he is Vice-President of the Italian Psychogeriatric Association, head of the Slovene Centre for Suicide Research, and director of the Department of Psychology, University of Primorska, Slovenia.

| Einsamkeit - Langeweile – Melancholie - PFAU-TIEFUHR Ulrike und PFAU Bolko - Nervenärzte, Psychotherapie Schwerte, University Witten-Herdecke (DE) | 25 avr. 2021 | 00:38:43 | |
Einsamkeit hat viele Facetten – von der gesuchten, positiv besetzten Einsamkeit (Einsiedelei) bis zur schmerzenden Einsamkeit im Verlassensein von anderen oder der Ausgrenzung durch Verlust und/oder Krankheit.In besonderem Maße interessiert uns, was das Thema der Einsamkeit mit dem der Langeweile zu tun hat. Auch Langeweile ist manchmal nützlich - Langeweile kann aber auch ein quälender Zustand sein. Als Psychiater interessiert uns ferner, was die Langeweile/Einsamkeit mit psychischem Kranksein zu tun haben und welche negativen, überdrüssigen, quälenden und auch schädigenden Gefühle und Handlungen z.B. aus der Langeweile entstehen. In dieses Problemfeld gehört die Melancholie und ihr Zusammenhang mit der Langweile. Mit den Themen Einsamkeit und Langeweile hängt auch die Entstehung und Symptomatik von depressiven Erkrankungen und Ängsten zusammen. Auch damit wird sich der Vortrag beschäftigen.Wichtiges Handwerkszeug in der Wahrnehmung von Leere, Einsamkeit und Langeweile im Gegenüber (z.B. im Rahmen der Tätigkeit in der TS) ist die analytische Lehre von Übertragung/Gegenübertragung. Dabei werden im Kontakt mit betroffenen Menschen auch eigene Ängste vor Langeweile, Einsamkeit und Leere berührt. Auch diese analytische Technik wird in dem Vortrag gestreift werden.Wir planen, den Vortrag zu zweit zu halten – in einem hoffentlich nützlichen und das Verständnis erhöhenden Dialog.

| La négativité de l’écoute du mal-être. Quand l’épuisé se heurte aux dispositifs d’aide à distance - Romain HUËT - Université Rennes II - Fondation des Sciences de l’Homme (FMSH), Paris (FR) | 25 avr. 2021 | 00:28:12 | |
Cette conférence interroge les pratiques d’écoute électronique conduites par bon nombre d’associations de prévention du suicide. Elle s’appuie sur une recherche empirique menée depuis quelques années sur plusieurs milliers d’échanges entre des malheureux en proie à des idées suicidaires et des services associatifs d’écoute. La conférence s’intéressera à la façon dont la société s’organise pour prendre en charge la souffrance sociale au travers notamment de la multiplication des dispositifs d’écoute. Il s’agira alors de se demander comment les dispositifs d’aide à distance configurent un cadre d’interprétation de la souffrance et quelle est sa négativité. Nous tenterons de construire un certain regard sur la fatigue et la souffrance et en particulier sur sa performativité politique. Nous montrerons comment ce potentiel politique se heurte aux pratiques de soin qui, au lieu d’aider le sujet à se retrouver avec lui-même, ont tendance à enfermer le sujet dans l’identique. Romain HUËT - est maitre de conferences en sociologie de la communication à l’université Rennes II. Il est également chercheur associé à la foundation des sciences de l’Homme à Paris. Il a dirigé plusieurs recherches scientifiques sur la question de la souffrance ordinaire et des dispositifs d’écoute et de prévention du suicide. Il s’intéresse particulièrement aux modalités d’expression de soi sur les chats, messageries et téléphones. Il tente de penser l’articulation entre la fatigue, l’épuisement, la souffrance et sa portée politique. Lauréat de l’Agence National de la Recherche (2018), il dirige un programme sur une anthropologie de la violence (guerre, guérillas, émeutes) ce qui lui permet d’approcher le devenir haine/violence de la souffrance.

| Hikikomori: il crescente fenomeno dell’isolamento sociale giovanile in Italia - Marco CREPALDI - Psicologo, Presidente e fondatore della Associazione Hikikomori Italia (IT) | 18 avr. 2021 | 00:31:16 | |
Il termine giapponese hikikomori significa letteralmente “stare in disparte” è viene utilizzato per riferirsi a coloro che si isolano dal mondo sociale per mesi e anni, autorecludendosi nella propria abitazione e tagliando ogni contatto diretto con l’esterno. Si tratta soprattutto di giovani maschi, fragili a livello relazionale e ipercritici nei confronti di una società nella quale arrivano a non riconoscersi più come parte integrante. In Giappone tale fenomeno ha assunto dimensioni allarmanti, con oltre mezzo milione di casi accertati, ma i numeri sembrano essere in crescita in molte nazioni economicamente sviluppate, tra cui l’Italia, dove l’associazione nazionale Hikikomori Italia stima ci siano almeno 100.000 casi potenziali. Nonostante la sua diffusione, il fenomeno è tuttavia ancora poco conosciuto e coloro che ne soffrono si sentono spesso soli e incompresi nel proprio disagio. Durante il mio intervento farò una panoramica di quello che è il fenomeno dell’isolamento sociale giovanile in Italia, presentando anche i primi dati statistici raccolti su un campione di 288 genitori provenienti da tutto il paese. Inoltre, cercherò di sfatare quelli che sono i falsi miti che aleggiato attorno a questa problematica che troppo spesso viene confusa con la dipendenza da internet, con la depressione o con altre psicopatologie.

| The possible role of mindfulness meditation and mindfulness-based interventions in reducing loneliness and enhancing social-relationship - Cristiano CRESCENTINI - Neuroscientist, psychotherapist (IT) | 18 avr. 2021 | 00:34:15 | |
Despite social isolation and loneliness represent serious public health concerns, relatively little is known about evidence-based behavioral interventions that can help in dealing with these critical individual and social aspects. Recent evidence, however, suggests that mindfulness-meditation and mindfulness-based interventions, with their present-moment awareness and openness/acceptance fundamental components, may promote better social-relationship functioning and reduce loneliness. After a general introduction to mindfulness-meditation and mindfulness-based interventions, the lecture will focus on their effects on individual and social pain and on loneliness.

| La solitudine e il diritto - Paolo CENDON - Professore ordinario di diritto privato, Università di Trieste (IT) | 21 mars 2021 | 00:38:59 | |
C'è la solitudine della persona fragile, non in grado di provvedere ai suoi interessi; occorrerà nominarle un angelo custode, che faccia le cose accanto a lei o al posto di lei. C’è quella del soggetto “a rischio”, che rischia di fare del male a se stesso o ad altri; sarà bene far luogo a un piano di lungo respiro, che eviti sciocchezze o tragedie. C’è la solitudine indotta da un torto, ad esempio una violenza, che ha gettato la vittima nella disperazione o nella follia; necessario giungere qui a un congruo risarcimento, sensibile a ogni profilo morale e esistenziale. E ci sono poi i figli dimenticati dai padri, i non autosufficienti trascurati dai Servizi, le mogli messe da un canto in malo modo, e viceversa, i malati cui nessuno dice niente, o che soffrono senza aiuto, i morenti non interpellati, per cui non si fa abbastanza, gli adolescenti non difesi contro il bullismo o la sordità della scuola, le vittime di discriminazioni, quelli che subiscono un lutto, i disabili Paolo CENDON - Nato a Venezia, ha insegnato come professore ordinario Diritto Privato nell’Università di Trieste.

| Vortrag: Loyalität und Einsamkeit - Birgit KNATZ und Stefan SCHUMACHER - Post directors of TelefonSelsorge Hagen-Mark (TES) - (DE) | 21 mars 2021 | 01:21:39 | |
Es ist die Einsamkeit, die die meisten Menschen dazu bewegt uns anzurufen oder zu schreiben. Vielfach resultieren die quälenden Einsamkeitsgefühle aus dem Erleben von Einschränkung, Trennung, Verlust und den damit einhergehenden Kränkungen. Einsamkeit zeigt sich allerdings nicht nur dadurch. Viele Menschen fühlen sich auch in Beziehungen einsam. In ihrer Not kontaktieren sie beharrlich, unermüdlich und regelmäßig die TelefonSeelsorge. Wenn Glaube, Liebe und Hoffnung vergangen sind, springt die Loyalität ein. Die Treue zur TelefonSeelsorge stiftet zwar kein soziales Verhältnis, aber sie erhält es am Leben. Menschen, die aus Einsamkeit Kontakt aufnehmen, haben häufig ein herausforderndes Kommunikationsverhalten: Sie reden pausenlos, jammern viel oder klagen! Nicht einfach für den Dialog, der manchmal dadurch auch vergiftet wird In unserem Vortrag beleuchten wir einige der Kommunikationsgifte und zeigen Möglichkeiten im Umgang mit Dauerrednerinnen und Rednern am Telefon und in der Chatbegleitung. Wir erläutern wie Sie mit Menschen umgehen können, die permanent jammern und klagen und wie Sie Grenzen setzen!

| La Résilience Émotionnelle: quand les jeunes découvrent le bien-être par la connaissance de soi - Mark MILTON - Fondateur et Directeur Général de la fondation Education 4 Peace (E4P) - (CH) | 14 mars 2021 | 00:31:25 | |
En moins de 20 ans, notre monde a changé; ce qui était inimaginable alors est en train de se produire: les enfants dans le monde entier commencent à apprendre l’aptitude émotionnelle. En même temps, naît une compréhension et une conscience collective de la résilience humaine. Est-ce que cette nouvelle dimension de la conscience de soi va conduire à une nouvelle conscience humaine?

| Caring the carers - Melinda MEDGYASZAI - Psychotherapist, “Connection ‘96 Mental Health” Association, Veszprém (HU) | 06 mars 2021 | 00:24:56 | |
Burnout syndrome is a well-known phenomenon, an international epidemic in the service sector – especially in the so called helping professions. A number of studies analyzed the causes, symptoms and possible antidotes of this mental condition that costs dearly not only the individual but the society as a whole as well. Volunteers of IFOTES are also in helping profession, why should they be free from burnout? Burnout is a “state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by one’s professional life.” There are a number of symptoms of Burnout such as: chronic fatigue, insomnia, impaired concentration and attention, anxiety, depression, loneliness etc. This condition does not develop overnight. Its effects are creeping up undetected and may contribute to resign from a job without even being recognized by the individual. Burnout’s road leads from unfounded idealism through frustration to apathy. Burnout has different causes such as: mental stress, responsibility, lack of feed back, conflicts, irregular working hours, IT problems, harassment, work-life balance or the lack of coping possibilities like control, support, holidays and so on. What to do? Burnout can be prevented. There are evidence based interventions: physical factors, organization issues can be rearranged, coping mechanisms can be supported, and stress management can be improved with relaxation techniques: mindfulness, autogen training, progressive relaxation, yoga – or whatever works. The main point is: by preventing the development of Burnout to a debilitating condition we can enhance our co-workers well-being and the smooth operation of our help-lines as well.

| Identità, memoria e legami affettivi: come uscire dalla solitudine quando pezzi interi della nostra esistenza scivolano via per sempre? - Michela MARZANO - Prof.ssa Università Sorbona, Parigi (FR) | 06 mars 2021 | 00:46:26 | |
Cosa resta delle relazioni affettive e sociali quando si inizia a perdere la memoria e pezzi interi della propria storia scivolano via? È possibile evitare di ritrovarsi all’improvviso soli, incapaci non solo di badare a se stessi ma anche di riconoscere le persone care? Partendo dall'esempio delle persone anziane dipendenti, ma anche da quello di coloro che si ammalano precocemente di Alzheimer o di demenza senile, lo scopo di questa relazione è analizzare la grammatica delle relazioni affettive, l’importanza della fiducia reciproca, ma anche, e forse soprattutto, la necessità di ripensare i legami quando una persona cambia e, pure agli occhi delle persone più care, non solo smette di essere affidabile, ma sembra addirittura diventare un’estranea.

| Loneliness and the need to belong: aspects of loneliness - Anja MACHIELSE - Professor of ‘Empowerment of Vulnerable Older Adults’, Utrecht University (NL) | 01 mars 2021 | 01:02:53 | |
Social relationships with relatives, friends and acquaintances are important resources for the personal functioning of people and offer a unique chance to meet belongingness needs. However, in modern Western societies, meaningful and supportive personal relationships have become less self-evident. Due to societal developments (like individualisation processes) people are less able to fall back on ‘given’ bonds such as family or neighbourhood relationships. Especially major life-events can cause loneliness: a divorce, the death of a loved one, retiring, moving, a decreasing health condition, and ageing often have a negative effect on the size or quality of the social network. In her lecture, Anja Machielse explores different aspects of loneliness: the great diversity among lonely persons, the consequences of loneliness for their self-worth and self-respect, and their lack of social support. She also explores the personal competencies and social skills that are necessary to make meaningful contacts; skills that are needed to show vulnerability and to ask for help in times of adversity. Anja Machielse also gives insight into the strategies lonely people use to deal with their situation, and the possibilities they see of changing their situation. She shows that lonely people develop habits and rituals to meet their social needs that often intensify their loneliness. The lecture makes clear that social interventions should fit with the ambitions and strategies of the lonely people involved.

| Zurück ins Leben - Frank ERTEL - Leiter der TelefonSeelsorge in Aachen (DE) | 01 mars 2021 | 00:42:38 | |
Einsamkeit und Verbitterung können wie zwei Schwestern sein.Sie können wie Nebel langsam in das Leben einziehen oder sie können wie ein Blitzschlag plötzlich da sein.Einsamkeit und Verbitterung verbindet auch oft eine sich gegenseitig verstärkende Wechselwirkung.Einsamkeit fühlen wir dann, wenn die Beziehungen, die wir haben, nicht so sind, wie wir sie gerne hätten.Bitterkeit empfinden wir, wenn das Leben nicht so verläuft, wie wir es uns vorgestellt haben.Beides zusammen wirkt in uns wie eine Zutat in einem Backteig: Es fühlt sich untrennbar mit uns verbunden an und verleiht dem Leben seinen unverkennbaren Geschmack.Bitterkeit und Einsamkeit erschweren es uns, die Welt „mit ihrer eigenen Stimme sprechen zu hören“, weil unser inneres Gestimmt-Sein den Ton vorgibt. Es wird zunehmend schwerer in Resonanz zu treten, sowohl mit uns selber als auch mit anderen, mit der materiellen Welt und mit einer spirituellen Dimension.Wie kann ein Weg aus einer sich vielleicht steigernden Resonanzlosigkeit gelingen? Wir kennen Anrufe, Chats und Mails dieser Art, die die Hoffnung in sich tragen, Freiheit im Leben neu spüren zu können und dennoch der Weg unbegehbar scheint.Es werden Situationen und Verläufe der Bitterkeit und Einsamkeit skizziert sowie mögliche Wege in die Freiheit aufgezeigt.

| Morte come abbandono e solitudine: il valore del supporto sociale e della ricerca interiore - Ines TESTONI - Prof.ssa e direttrice del Master in Death Studies & The End of Life, Università Padova (IT) | 21 févr. 2021 | 00:31:01 | |
L'abbandono è una delle cause primarie del vissuto di solitudine.La teoria dell'attaccamento di John Bowlby offre una cornice importante all'interno della quale concettualizzare e comprendere gli aspetti fondamentali della solitudine. Infatti, le difficoltà di attaccamento sono spesso la causa, da un lato, di molte lotte emotive all'interno di legami intensi e burrascosi e, dall'altro, di relazioni fredde e distaccate, da cui spesso deriva la separazione. Numerosi ricercatori stanno studiando questi aspetti interpersonali, cercando di riconoscerne le costituenti all’interno delle biografie dei singoli individui.Recentemente, essi hanno iniziato a comprendere aspetti fondamentali di relazioni interpersonali instabili e intense, sentimenti di vuoto, esplosioni di rabbia, paure croniche di abbandono e intolleranza alla solitudine, mostrando il loro legame con la mancanza di un senso stabile di sé che si verifica in un contesto interpersonale negativo e percepito come rifiutante. Molte differenze possono essere riconosciute in questa complessa fenomenologia, ma tutte sono radicate nelle esperienze di attaccamento (Levy, 2005; Saini, 2012).

| Digital Loneliness, Digital Relationships - Luca CHITTARO - “Human-Computer Interaction Lab” Director, Udine University (IT) | 14 févr. 2021 | 00:33:59 | |
The 21st century saw a massive transition from traditional face-to-face communication to computer- and smartphone - mediated interaction between individuals. Some of the positive and negative effects of this significant social change are not yet fully understood, and are the subject of a growing amount of research. This talk will introduce attendees to this new topic, illustrating factors that characterize how we communicate and relate digitally, and how they affect us. It will then explore the paradox of digital loneliness, in which the same technologies that offer us a huge, unprecedented number of connections with other people make us actually spend more and more time alone. Digital tools such as instant messaging and social networks, as any technology, have a dual use (bad and good), and the talk will highlight how a mindful approach to digital relationships is fundamental to benefit, instead of suffering, from the new opportunities of digital life.

| Jeder Mensch ist ein Universum – und (deshalb) ganz allein - P. Elmar SALMANN - Philosoph und Theologe (GE) | 14 févr. 2021 | 00:31:36 | |
Der Vortrag möchte die Einsamkeit zunächst positiv verstehen, als Reichtum und Einmaligkeit eines jeden Menschen, der mit sich eins und einsam, ins Eine versammelt ist. Jedes Selbst ist eine Welt und zugleich Zentrum seiner Weltsicht. Das zu fördern, ist Ziel und Mitte aller seelsorglichen und psychologischen Begleitung. Zugleich liegt in dieser unvergleichlichen Besonderheit auch der Grund für den Schatten der Einsamkeit. Menschen können sich selbst und einander nie ganz verstehen, können und sollen aber versuchen, einander zugewandt, hilfreich gegenwärtig, also gemeinsam einsam zu sein.

| Loneliness takes its toll: the impact of social isolation on mental and somatic health - Karl Heinz LADWIG - Prof. Univ. TUM Monaco (D) | 07 févr. 2021 | 00:34:54 | |
Proximity and connectedness are basic requirements of mankind. Remarkable, in modern societies, despite high population density in metropolitan areas the number of people living alone seems to increase steadily. This is particular true for older people, however, over the total life span vulnerable phases can be identified which increase the risk of social isolation. Large scale prospective population based studies in many sites all over the industrialized world have evidenced that sustained feelings of social isolation and loneliness subsequently impact severely mental health but also somatic health of its victims.Particularly, this has been shown for cardio-vascular and metabolic diseases. Theses strong associations require medical explanations. We will give a condensed overview about the state of the art in psycho-(neuro)-physiology and will demonstrate why such adverse emotions of loneliness impact our health so deeply. Here, an impaired HPA axis and dysfunctions of the immune system play a most prominent role. We will not end without trying to draw conclusions of the actual basic research findings for supporting and treating these subjects at risk. Karl Heinz LADWIG - is Professor of Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychological Medicine at the Medical Faculty of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and is affiliated to the Department of Psycho-somatic Medicine and Psychotherapy. http://www.psychosomatik.mri.tum.de He is also Head of the Mental Health Epidemiology Unit of the Institute of Epidemiology at the Helmholtz Zentrum Muenchen, German Research Centre for Environmental Health in Munich. As clinical epidemiologist, he coordinates the mental health issues of the Institute. Major research topics of KH Ladwig comprise mental health related stress research in psycho-diabetology, psycho-cardiology (bio-behavioural concepts in cardiology) – both in risk factor epidemiology and clinical research – aging research and psycho-traumatology. His group contributes since a long time research findings by elucidating epidemiological, clinical and basic findings to better understand the impact social support, isolation and loneliness on health.

| La solitudine e la condizione di fragilità negli anziani - Marco TRABUCCHI - Presidente dell’Associazione Italiana di Psicogeriatria (IT) | 07 févr. 2021 | 00:28:32 | |
La solitudine e la fragilità dell’anziano esercitano una reciproca influenza negativa. Infatti la persona sola è esposta ad un maggior rischio di mortalità, di contrarre malattie invalidanti tra le quali la demenza, di accedere con maggior frequenza ai servizi sanitari. D’altra parte, la persona fragile ha una ridotta capacità di affrontare le conseguenze cliniche e psicosociali della condizione di solitudine. In questa prospettiva di reciproche influenze è necessario predisporre adeguati interventi che, a partire da un’accurata valutazione multidimensionale, costruiscano un progetto che contempli allo stesso tempo la cura della condizione biologica di fragilità e un intervento sulle modalità di vita per controllare la solitudine. Poiché si tratta di una condizione che frequentemente caratterizza l’esistenza delle persone in età avanzata, è necessario che la medicina del territorio ponga questi interventi al centro del proprio interesse, richiamando anche l’area del sociale ad occuparsi delle specifiche esigenze di individui a rischio. Anche nel caso di malattie acute, che impongono il ricorso all’ospedale, è necessario porre un’attenzione specifica a come fragilità e solitudine modulano negativamente le cure e la loro evoluzione.

| Lutter contre l’isolement social par la coopération de tous les acteurs et le soutien aux engagements citoyens - Jean-François SERRES - MONALISA-Mobilisation nationale contre l’isolement des âgés (FR) | 07 févr. 2021 | 00:36:56 | |
L’isolement social est une nouvelle forme de pauvreté qui met à l’épreuve la cohésion de nos sociétés et nous invite à tisser de nouvelles solidarités. En France, 10% de la population est concernée. L’isolement ne se mesure pas seulement par le nombre ou la fréquence des interactions; la qualité des relations est décisive: des relations qui n’offrent pas suffisamment de sécurité, de reconnaissance ou de participation sont productrices d’isolement. Cette approche permet de dégager de nouveaux principes d’intervention sociale en faveur de la recreation de liens: les citoyens sont les mieux placés pour tisser des relations gratuites, réciproques et choisies avec les personnes isolées. Soutenir leurs initiatives dans la proximité permet de reconstruire des environnements relationnels favorables et durables. Ce soutien doit orienter l’action publique dans un souci de complémentarité entre professionnels et citoyens bénévoles. La coopération de tous, institutions, associations, collectivités est nécessaire pour répondre à ce défi. Faciliter l’initiative des habitants et coopérer entre acteurs à l’échelle de chaque territoire constituent les deux piliers de la demarche MONALISA, adoptée aujourd’hui par des centaines d’acteurs et plus de 60 territoires en France. Jean-François SERRES - est référent national de la Mobilisation nationale contre l’isolement des âgés (MONALISA) depuis 2014, après avoir animé le groupe de travail à l’origine du rapport MONALISA remis à la ministre déléguée chargée des personnes âgées et de l’autonomie en 2013. Il est également membre du Conseil économique, social et environnemental, en représentant du Mouvement associatif. Dans ce cadre, il a été rapporteur de l’avis “Lutter contre l’isolement social pour plus de cohesion et de fraternité”, publié en juin 2017.

| Die Einsamkeit fordert ihren Tribut - die Auswirkungen der sozialen Isolation auf die psychische und somatische Gesundheit - Karl-Heinz LADWIG - Prof. Univ. TUM Monaco (D) | 31 janv. 2021 | 01:25:53 | |
Nähe und Verbundenheit sind Grundvoraussetzungen der Menschheit. Bemerkenswert ist, dass in modernen Gesellschaften trotz hoher Bevölkerungsdichte in den Metropolen, die Zahl der Alleinstehenden stetig zu steigen scheint. Dies gilt insbesondere für ältere Menschen, jedoch lassen sich über die gesamte Lebensdauer hinweg anfällige Phasen identifizieren, die das Risiko einer sozialen Isolation erhöhen. Groß angelegte prospektive bevölkerungsbezogene Studien an vielen Orten in der ganzen industrialisierten Welt haben gezeigt, dass anhaltende Gefühle sozialer Isolation und Einsamkeit in der Folge schwere Auswirkungen auf die psychische Gesundheit, aber auch auf die somatische Gesundheit der Opfer haben.Dies hat sich insbesondere bei Herz-Kreislauf- und Stoffwechselerkrankungen gezeigt. Diese starken Assoziationen erfordern medizinische Erklärungen. Wir geben einen komprimierten Überblick über den Stand der Technik in der Psycho-(Neuro)-Physiologie und zeigen, warum solche negativen Emotionen der Einsamkeit unsere Gesundheit so stark beeinflussen. Dabei spielen eine beeinträchtigte HPA-Achse und Dysfunktionen des Immunsystems eine herausragende Rolle. Wir werden nicht aufhören, zu versuchen, Schlussfolgerungen aus den aktuellen Ergebnissen der Grundlagenforschung zur Unterstützung und Behandlung dieser gefährdeten Menschen zu ziehen. Karl Heinz LADWIG - ist Professor für Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychologische Medizin an der Medizinischen Fakultät der Technischen Universität München (TUM), er ist Mitglied der Abteilung für Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie.
