Patients suffering from social isolation are both poorly understood and poorly treated. This psychopathology is the final result of a complex series of components that combine with each other to varying degrees and can include: anxiety, depression, anhedonia, rejection sensitivity, neurocognitive problems, problems in mentalization and social cognition, tendency to paranoid ideation, thought disorders, chronic feelings of non-belonging and non-sharing, lack of social skills. The first five essays in this volume are intended to provide an overall picture of this complexity.
The five essays in the second part are aimed more at clinicians and serve to deepen the identification and evaluation of social isolation in different mental disorders. They answer questions such as: is the presence of social isolation the precursor of a disorder or does it constitute a part of it? Some cases are reported to explain the evaluation and treatment methods.
The volume closes with an appendix that reviews the evaluation tools that can be used by the clinician in the processes of diagnosing forms of social isolation, both in patients suffering from mental disorders and in the rest of the population.
