Are you Anxious, Avoidant or Secure?
How the science of adult attachment can help you find – and keep – love
In "Attached," neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller delve into attachment theory, the pioneering relationship science rooted in John Bowlby's 1950s research. While much has been written about its impact on parent-child bonds, this book sheds light on its implications for adult romantic ties.
Central to attachment theory is the idea that our early interactions with caregivers shape our adult relationships and that our innate need for closeness is genetically embedded. Levine and Heller categorize people into three attachment styles:
-
ANXIOUS: Those often concerned about their partners' reciprocation.
-
AVOIDANT: Those who associate intimacy with losing independence.
-
SECURE: Those at ease with intimacy, typically warm and affectionate.
"Attached" not only helps readers identify their own and their partners' attachment styles but also offers guidance on nurturing healthier, deeper connections based on these insights. Dive into the captivating science of love and discover ways to foster more meaningful relationships.
