The Call Of Solitude Alonetime In A World Of

As we learn in The Call of Solitude, alone time is a great protector of the self and the human spirit.

Drawing on studies of animal and infant behavior, a clinical psychologist offers proof of the inherent biological and psychological need of humans for solitude and shows how solitude helps humans in other areas of life.

Ester Schaler Buchholz is the author of The Call Of Solitude, a Simon & Schuster book.
