With fascinating psychological insight, quizzes and case studies, Levine and Heller help you understand the three attachment styles, identify your own and recognize the styles of others so that you can find compatible partners or improve your existing relationship. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached oUers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
