Loneliness or isolation due to Covid 19 pandemic

More than 18 months have passed since the editorial dedicated to fear of contamination (Settineri & Merlo, 2020a) which, like all public health editorials, has reflected on current events. Reflections on the relationship with that special object that is the disease characterized by its time and its spaces (today minor due to its global characteristics). The disease object is "special" for its complexity value that we can summarize in a multifactoriality that involves both intellectual and emotional processing. This involves risks of dispersion, a concept that is well suited to the word identity both individual and social. We have seen it in our daily clinical practice and, last but not least, in the specifics of psychotherapy (Berking et al., 2008; Frisone, 2019; Plakun, 2020; Probst et al., 2020) as a moment of relationship and observation, in the deprivation of the gaze (and perhaps also of the voice), we have seen it in the collective phenomena measured by statistics one of the tasks it is that of the quantitative description of phenomena. We have seen this in the diversification of measures, heterogeneous in choices and compromises adopted both in Europe and in the individual regions of the same and not always supported by the common denominator of health. We have seen this in the restrictive choices and the ease with which they were evaded due to the ignorance of a “highly educated” population. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.
