Why does Holden say that he misses people at the end?

At the end
of the story,has undergone psychoanalysis.  He tells us in Chapter 26, that his:

"Psychoanalyst guy they have here, keeps asking me if
I'm going to apply myself when I go back to school next September."
(Salinger)

Holden's admission of missing people is a sign
that he is getting better.  He has been in a mental institution and now, he is anticipating the
future, the next school he will attend, how he will do once he gets
there.

And, now that he has undergone treatment for his depression and can
reflect with accuracy on his experience at Pencey Prep, he realizes that he actually liked
Stradlater and Ackley.
