Abstract :

In greater numbers our aging population is living both longer and at home. Many have a paucity of supports and affiliations exposing them to the experience of loneliness. This presentation examines the progression from alone to lonely to loneliness. Some theoretical constructs which help develop insights into lonely will be discussed. Finally suggestions for adaptive interventions will be identified.
