Description

The epidemic of loneliness that plagues contemporary society is best understood by observing the line of evolutionary development that led to social mammals, primates, and finally humans. Throughout this development, brute strength, claws, fangs, running speed, and defensive acuity of the senses have all been sacrificed in favor of the development of the cortical brain that complements our two other evolutionarily older brain components. Understanding this evolutionary development of the modern human brain allows mental health clinicians to assess and treat chronically lonely clients. You will learn how the limbic brain generates the sensation of loneliness when a person senses their excessive disconnection and isolation. Two powerful clinical assessment tools for chronic loneliness will be discussed in detail, allowing mental health professionals to leave the training with new modalities to incorporate in their clinical practice.
