The internet, social media platforms, and digital technology all
seem to point to a world of greater interconnectivity and social
connection. Yet even against this background of global social
networks, loneliness remains a major issue for millions of
individuals, and one with tangible consequences: studies have
demonstrated that loneliness correlates with to an increased risk
of mental illnesses, as well as a 45% increased risk of death. In
Loneliness: Science and Practice, experts from the United States
and Europe seek to construct a translational framework for
recognizing and addressing loneliness in the clinical context.
Based on the latest literature on the topic, the book tackles * The
theoretical foundations of loneliness and other dimensions of
social connection. Readers will benefit from validated rating
scales to measure loneliness that account for the varied
experiences of, and factors that contribute to, loneliness.* The
incidence and presentation of loneliness throughout the life cycle*
Loneliness among marginalized communities, including racial and
ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and individuals
with mental illnesses* The neurobiological and systemic
neuroendocrine and inflammatory mechanisms of loneliness*
Interventions for loneliness, from research-based interventions for
both younger and older age groups to community-based interventions
Throughout this guide, clinical vignettes help ground the
theoretical information in real-world applicability. Key points
help readers reference each chapter's most salient points quickly,
and lists of suggested readings open the door to further
exploration. By examining the psychosocial and biological
mechanisms of loneliness, as well as the unique social and cultural
contexts in which it can occur, Loneliness: Science and Practice
offers readers a holistic understanding of loneliness and a
framework for addressing it in the distinct communities they serve.
