Is there a technology to love? Within this groundbreaking audiobook, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory - the innovative relationship science around today - can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for most best-selling literature on the father or mother/child marriage, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating technology has to tell us about adult passionate relationships - as yet. Connection theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s analyzed the marvelous impact our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on folks we become. Also central to attachment theory is the finding that our need to be in a detailed relationship with one or more individuals is inserted in our genes. In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary affects continue to condition who we have been in our romantic relationships today. Regarding to attachment theory, every person behaves in romantic relationships in another of three unique ways: "anxious" people tend to be preoccupied with the relationships and tend to stress about their partner's capacity to love them back again. "Avoidant" people equate intimacy with a lack of independence and constantly try to decrease closeness. "Secure" people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides listeners in deciding what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mates) follow. In addition, it offers a wealth of advice about how to navigate romantic relationships more wisely, given a listener's attachment style and that of his or her partner. An insightful go through the technology behind love, Attached offers a road map for building better, more fulfilling relationships.
