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

Is there a science behind love and connection? In this book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how understanding attachment theory, the most advanced relationship science to date, can help us build and maintain healthy, lasting relationships.

Originally developed by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, attachment theory explains that people tend to relate to others in one of three main ways:

• Anxious individuals often worry about their relationships and crave reassurance.

• Avoidant individuals see intimacy as a threat to their independence and tend to keep others at a distance.

• Secure individuals are comfortable with closeness and are typically warm and dependable.

Through insightful explanations, practical quizzes, and real-life case studies, Attached helps readers identify their own attachment style, understand their partner’s, and make better choices in love, whether you’re looking for the right partner or hoping to strengthen the relationship you are already in.
