The science of adult relationships and how our attachment styles make all the difference

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

See adult relationships through a scientific lens with Attached: Penned by neuroscientist and psychiatrist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel Heller, Attached explores the science behind adult relationships, based on attachment theory. Although attachment theory has long been an area of interest in the world of developmental psychology, the focus has traditionally been on studying how children form attachments, particularly to their parents or caregivers. Attached takes that focus to later stages of human life by explaining how these attachment styles (which we develop in childhood, but are in no way irreversible) carry into romantic relationships. Through several case studies and real-life relationship examples, Levine and Heller explain how the three attachment styles — secure, anxious, and avoidant — typically behave in relationships, and how each style interacts with the other. Attached is also available in audiobook format.
