We rely on science to tell us everything from what to eat to
when and how long to exercise, but what about relationships? Is
there a scientific explanation for why some people seem to navigate
relationships effortlessly, while others struggle? According to
psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller,
the answer is a resounding "yes."
In "Attached," Levine and Heller reveal how an understanding of
adult attachment-the most advanced relationship science in
existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by
psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment
posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three
distinct ways:
Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and
tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back
Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and
constantly try to minimize closeness. Secure people feel
comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.
In this book Levine and Heller guide readers in determining what
attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow,
offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling
connections with the people they love.
