I was reading Dr. Laura Freberg’s excellent psychology blog today and was happy to see a podcast interview with psychologist John Cacioppo.  Mr. Cacioppo recently authored an interesting book on lonenliness entitled, Loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection. 

The most intriguing part of the interview for me was the commentary from Kristin Graham, an Army Captain who insightfully discusses the complex effects of loneliness within the context of military personnel attempting to readjust to society after serving in wartime. 

I was reminded of our Ashworth military students and families stationed all over the world as I listened to Captain Graham’s analysis.  I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to listen to this podcast.  I look forward to hearing your thoughts.  Thanks.
