A groundbreaking book that redefines what it means to be in a relationship.

Is there a science of love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how understanding attachment theory - the most advanced relationship science available today - can help us find and sustain love.

Introduced in the 1950s by psychologist John Bowlby, the field of attachment explains that each of us acts in relationships in one of three different ways:

Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and worry about their partner's ability to love them back.

Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and are constantly trying to minimise closeness.

Secure people are comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving.

With fascinating psychological insights, quizzes and case studies, Dr Amir Levine and Rachel Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognise the styles of others so you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship. An insightful look at the science behind love, "Attached" provides readers with a roadmap to building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
