Is there a cure for loneliness?
Abstract
"Loneliness is such a painful and frightening experience that people have avoided studying it thoroughly. One survey showed that 26 percent of the people sampled nationally reported themselves as very lonely or remote from other people . In a study of widows, Helena Lapata found that nearly one-half reported loneliness as the leading problem in their lives and 22 percent reported loneliness as an issue for them."--First page.
