Attached: Are you Anxious, Avoidant or Secure? How the science of adult attachment can help you find - and keep - love

Attached offers a fascinating exploration of the science underlying romantic relationships, providing readers with practical tools for nurturing deeper and more rewarding connections. According to bestselling author John Gray, PhD., it's "a groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship." In this transformative work, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine, along with psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller, delve into attachment theory, a highly advanced relationship science, to demonstrate how it can guide us in finding and maintaining love.Originating in the 1950s with psychologist John Bowlby, attachment theory suggests that our behavior in relationships tends to fall into one of three categories. Anxious individuals are often concerned with their relationships, worrying about whether their partner reciprocates their love. Avoidant individuals tend to view intimacy as a threat to their independence, leading them to keep emotional distance. Secure individuals, on the other hand, embrace intimacy and typically maintain warm, loving relationships.Through compelling psychological insights, engaging quizzes, and real-life case studies, Levine and Heller present a comprehensive guide to understanding these attachment styles. By identifying your own style and recognizing those of others, you can seek out compatible partners or enhance your current relationship.
