Hello! A few people have sent me emails and requested to know "who I am." It was only then I realized that perhaps I should put in a little page to say a little something about myself. My name is Sean Seepersad. Presently I am a faculty member at the California State University, Fresno in the USA. I just recently graduated from the University of Illinois with a Ph.D. For my dissertation I conducted a loneliness intervention program for lonely college students. I successfully ran the program in the Fall 2003 and Spring 2004 semesters. (I will be making my dissertation available online in the near future). The program worked quite well, and I'm hoping to implement the program on a much broader scale. I get so many messages, stories from individuals who feel lonely and want help with it. This website seems sometimes to be such a small drop of help. I'm hoping perhaps that I can take this program I'm developing and help many people with it. I'm also thinking about authoring a book on loneliness, based on my own thoughts and the stories of others. If you would like to tell me your story, please check out this page. I'm also looking for monetary donations too, to help develop this program!! :-)
Though I am in the US, I am not originally from here. I am actually from a little country in the Caribbean called Trinidad and Tobago. It's located just north of the coast of Venezuela. I got involved in loneliness research quite by accident. During adolescence, I myself have had some bouts with loneliness and was drawn to write poetry about it (one of the poems in my website is actually mine). Several of my friends displayed what I would call a pattern of loneliness and I had developed my own little theories about loneliness. It was quite by accident that I came across a book about loneliness in the university library, in which was displayed theories and research on loneliness. My first reaction was, "wow, people actually study this?!" After reading one of the articles that resonated deeply with my experience, I decided that this would be a wonderful field to get into. It was since then that I have been writing and reading about loneliness.
