True Crime Science! Vol. 4
Attachment Styles and Disorders
Today, we are discussing different attachment styles and disorders and how they relate to possible personality disorders.
Helpful Resources:
“The Attachment Effect: Exploring the Powerful Ways Our Earliest Bond Shapes Our Relationships and Lives.”
Journalist Peter Lovenheim interviews psychology experts as well as individuals and couples to illustrate the key concepts of attachment theory. If you’re looking for an easy-to-read primer on attachment theory, this is a good place to start.
“The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma.”
While not explicitly about attachment styles, many people consider this book a must-read for anyone dealing with the long-term effects of childhood trauma.
“Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find — and Keep — Love.”
This 2012 book, co-written by a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, takes a closer look at how attachment theory applies to adults and offers guidance on overcoming insecure attachment styles.
