“…Characteristics Rationales 3, 26, 28 Separateness One of the most prominent characteristics of EL is an awareness of fundamental separateness or a deep sense of isolation from the world and society. Overall, it refers to perceiving oneself as inherently isolated from the world and others; an unavoidable separation from every creature and everything in the world (Fromm, 1941(Fromm, , 1956May, 1958;Yalom, 1980). 28 Rootlessness EL is associated with awareness of oneself as a separate entity that lost its roots in nature (Fromm, 1947;May, 1958).…”

“…It is the reality we live from the time we are born until we die'' (Booth, 1997, p. 26). Ultimately, we are born alone, we live alone, and we die alone (Collins, 1989;Fromm, 1956;Mijuskovic, 1980;Moustakas, 1961;Yalom, 1980). 14, 15, Thinking about Death Fear of death EL and death are claimed to be closely intertwined, both characterized by nothingness (Ettema et al, 2010).…”

“…Uncertainty EL can be associated with the anxiety and uncertainty of the future concerning death or life (Booth, 1997;Fromm, 1956;Sundstro ¨m et al, 2018;Olofsson et al, 2021). The main idea is that human is thrown into the world which leaves him uncertain; as human struggle with the profoundest questions about the uncertainty of life and death, feel basic sense of emptiness and separateness (Booth, 1997;Dwan & Willig, 2021).…”

This article deals with the development and initial validation of the Existential Loneliness Scale (ELS). An initial pool of 40 items, generated based on literature review, qualitative studies, and previously developed scales, was evaluated by the experts’ judgment, so 30 items were retained and then administered to an Iranian sample of 433 youth and adult participants aged 20 to 85 years. Participants also completed other measures relevant for construct validity: Existential Loneliness Questionnaire (ELQ), De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale (DJGLS-6), Existential Anxiety Questionnaire (EAQ), Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-13), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Exploratory factor analysis and parallel analysis showed strong evidence of unidimensionality. This result was also supported by confirmatory factor analysis test. Finally, 19 items were kept, which were free from DIF by gender and by marital status. The scale had high internal consistency (α = .95 and ω = .95) and adequate test–retest reliability with a 1-month interval ( r = .74). Examination of the ELS’ correlation with criterion measures indicated that the scale has good concurrent, discriminant, and convergent validity. Findings revealed the ELS as a reliable, valid, and suitable instrument to measure existential loneliness in the Iranian adult population.

“…This results in an enrichment of psychic life and a deepened capacity for joy and love. This process is life's great challenge and is fundamental to individuation and separation (Freud 1917;Fairbairn 1941;Balint 1952;Fromm 1956;Bowlby 1988;Kernberg 2011):…”

“…Many psychoanalysts believe that the template for lifelong mourning is developed in the early years of life (Balint 1952;Fairbairn 1943;Fromm 1956;Klein 1957;Kernberg 2011). It is during this time that the infant faces their first great losses as they start the process of separation and individuation (Klein 1957).…”

SUMMARY This article brings together the psychiatric and psychoanalytic views of mental illness to deepen the understanding of mental disorder. The intention is to bring to the fore the importance of loss and mourning in clinical practice. Looking for the loss event that underpins the disorder helps determine therapeutic treatment options and increases the chance of authentic therapeutic engagement and recovery. The article summarises theory about the mourning process and discusses the relationship of loss and pathological mourning to mental illness. Fictitious case vignettes developed from years in psychiatric practice are used to illustrate how this relates to clinical practice and formulation.

From Pseudo to Genuine Sustainability Education: Ecopedagogy and Degrowth in Business Studies Courses

This article surveys critical scholarship that links the literature on sustainable business education and education for sustainable development goals (ESDG). It is assumed that ESDG is desirable in the business curriculum. However, it is argued here that ESDG erroneously fosters the illusion of successfully combining economic growth, social justice, and environmental protection, foregrounding “sustained and inclusive economic growth”, which is often dependent on the increased consumption of natural resources. ESDG rarely addresses industrial expansion that jeopardizes the opportunity for the resolution of environmental crises, ignoring the intrinsic value of nonhuman species and ecosystems and masking the root causes of unsustainability. ESDG places heavy emphasis on economic and social aspects of sustainability, at the cost of the environment. By contrast, some earlier forms of environmental education recognize the limits to growth and emphasize environmental integrity as a foundation for both social and economic activity. This article emphasizes the need to re-orientate ESDG towards genuine sustainability of ecopedagogy in the context of business education, emphasizing transformative business models based on degrowth, circular economy, and steady-state economy. It is argued that a more explicit pedagogical re-orientation towards the recognition of planetary boundaries, as well as toward a less anthropocentric focus is needed.
