In this review, we suggest attachment science as a framework for understanding the negative impact of loneliness and social disconnection on mental and physical health and for guiding the interventions of clinicians. We provide an overview of current findings linking loneliness and social isolation to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as to physical illnesses such as heart disease. We propose emotionally focused therapy for couples, families, and individuals to enhance the quality of people's emotional ties to significant others and their subjective sense of social connectedness. We conclude by suggesting that the strengthening of emotional, interpersonal bonds, which is the primary focus of all forms of emotionally focused therapy, can help restore emotional balance, thereby protecting people from chronic feelings of isolation and the host of health problems that they can cause.
在本综述中，我们建议将依恋科学作为一个框架，用于理解孤独和社会脱节对身心健康的负面影响，并指导临床医生的干预措施。我们概述了当前将孤独和社会孤立与诸如抑郁和焦虑等心理健康问题以及诸如心脏病等身体疾病联系起来的研究结果。我们提出针对夫妻、家庭和个人的情感聚焦疗法，以提高人们与重要他人的情感联系质量及其社会联系的主观感受。我们最后指出，加强情感人际纽带是所有形式情感聚焦疗法的主要重点，它有助于恢复情感平衡，从而保护人们免受长期孤独感以及由此可能引发的一系列健康问题的困扰。
