Attached: The "New" Science of Adult Attachment

Another book on the "new" science of attachment theory, which is not new at all. Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find--and Keep--Love is pretty simplistic in most ways, but that makes it useful for the lay reader who is not educated in psychology or attachment theory.

Dr. Moira Gunn chats with Amir Levine and Racher Heller, co-authors of Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find--and Keep--Love. In the book the authors explore the biology behind our relationship needs, teach readers how to identify their own and loved ones attachment styles. Mariette DiChristina, editor in chief of Scientific American called this book 'a valuable tool whether you are just entering a relationship with a new partner or-as in my case--even after you've been married 21 years, and had thought you knew everything about your spouse.'
