Loneliness : human nature and the need for social connection

Books
This work defines an unrecognised syndrome - chronic loneliness - brings it out of the shadow of its cousin, depression, and shows how this subjective sense of social isolation disrupts our perceptions, behaviour and physiology, becomming a trap that not only reinforces isolation but can lead to early death.
