Summary:

Offering a comprehensive review of the current literature, this book aims to construct a translational framework for recognizing and addressing loneliness in the clinical context. With clinical vignettes that help ground the information in real-world applicability, this guide presents the theoretical foundations of loneliness; discusses the epidemiology of loneliness throughout the life cycle; examines loneliness in specific populations; analyzes the psychosocial and biological mechanisms of loneliness; and describes research- and community-based interventions.
