I hope that shedding light on the four relationship styles will help you to understand your needs as well as your partner's needs and build a stronger relationship. What does the Dismissive, Fearful, Anxious, and Secure partner look like in a relationship? If illustrated, would it make more sense? Would seeing your relationship style and behavior in action help you make changes? Could you be a super-magnet for drawing in the worst type of partners? Would it help you to understand what it means to have more than one relationship attachment style affecting your love life? We'll start with a look at the dismissive-avoidant partner paired with the other attachment styles, including itself. If you haven't been able to see your relationship style in action or how it may be affecting the growth of your love life, now you can. This is the first illustrated look at your attachment style in action when it comes to your relationship. The visual aspect of seeing your behavior illustrated can help you make the necessary changes for a healthier and balanced attachment style.

Book excerpt: “Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.
