Loneliness in this article is discussed in order to make it more discernable. Psychoanalytic literature has been surveyed relevant to loneliness and related issues. Noted is the importance of individualism in America, citing Thoreau as a model for individualism. Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Man of the Crowd" is discussed to illustrate desperate loneliness. The topic of loneliness connects to issues of empathy, loneliness in treatment, the countertransference response to loneliness, the study of self experience, and the problems created by the use of the term identity. The historical perspective indicates how we are time bound to the vocabulary, theories, ideas and myths of our era, to which, in our loneliness, we cling.
本文对孤独进行了探讨，以便使其更易于理解。我们查阅了与孤独及相关问题有关的精神分析文献。文中指出了个人主义在美国的重要性，并以梭罗作为个人主义的典范。我们还讨论了埃德加·爱伦·坡的小说《人群中的人》，以说明极度的孤独。孤独这一主题与共情问题、治疗中的孤独、对孤独的反移情反应、自我体验的研究以及使用“身份”一词所产生的问题相关联。历史视角表明，我们如何在时间上受限于我们这个时代的词汇、理论、观念和神话，而在孤独中，我们又紧紧依附于这些东西。
