The Psychology of Attachment

In The Psychology of Attachment (published in Arabic as سيكولوجية التعلق), leading scholars Pehr Granqvist, Robbie Duschinsky, and Tommy Forslund deliver an authoritative yet highly accessible overview of attachment theory. Part of "The Psychology of Everything" series, the book traces the origins of attachment research from John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth to modern neuroscientific findings. The authors detail how early emotional bonds between children and caregivers establish internal working models that persist into adulthood. The book analyzes the four primary attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized), illustrating how each style dictates adult relationship dynamics, stress regulation, and conflict resolution. Rich with clinical and academic insights, it offers practical perspectives on moving toward secure attachment and healthier emotional connections.

Because it breaks down attachment dynamics into clear concepts, empowering you to understand your emotional triggers, break unhealthy relational patterns, and build secure bonds.

For individuals seeking relationship self-awareness, parents, mental health professionals, counselors, and students of developmental and social psychology.
