John Cacioppo & Kristin Graham

Recently, noted Psychologist and Social Neuroscientist John Cacioppo gave an interesting interview on his new book  loneliness: Human Nature and the Need for Social Connection .

Army Captain Kristin Graham discussed the effects of loneliness on army personnel returning from deployment and reintegrating into civilian society and reconnecting with friends and family.

This quarter I am using John Cacioppo and William Patrick’s book as an added reader in my Introductory Psychology class. By the way, Captain Graham is my eldest daughter.

It is not a lack of love,
but a lack of friendship
that makes unhappy marriages
