Nostalgia: A Psychological Resource - 1st Edition - Routledge

Dr. Clay Routledge’s "Nostalgia: A Psychological Resource" (2015) reframes nostalgia from a historical, clinical pathology into an adaptive, "bittersweet" psychological tool used to foster social connection, self-continuity, and existential meaning. The research demonstrates that nostalgia acts as a coping mechanism for enhancing resilience and emotional regulation in everyday life. For more information, visit Routledge .
