Ein Partnerschaftskompass mit Typenlehre DER WUNSCH NACH BEZIEHUNG ist tief in unseren Genen verankert. Dennoch sind Partnerschaften eine archetypische Spielwiese für Missverständnisse und Auseinandersetzungen. Was, wenn es ein psychologisch fundiertes Beziehungshandbuch gäbe, das uns die Gesetzmäßigkeiten von Partnerschaften aufzeigt und das wir wie einen Kompass verwenden können, um Enttäuschungen zu vermeiden? Levine und Heller wenden grundlegende Erkenntnisse der Beziehungsforschung erstmals auf den gelebten Dating- und Paaralltag an. Danach gibt es drei Beziehungstypen: Der ängstliche Beziehungstyp braucht die Nähe und sorgt sich, ob der Partner ihn genügend liebt. Der vermeidende Beziehungstyp hingegen setzt Intimität schnell mit dem Verlust von Unabhängigkeit gleich. Der sichere Beziehungstyp ist in der Lage, stabile Partnerschaften zu führen, kann aber auf den ängstlichen und vermeidenden Beziehungstypen, die eine starke Anziehungskraft aufeinander ausüben, unattraktiv wirken. Die Autoren bringen Klarheit in das Gefühlschaos und geben die entscheidenden Tipps, damit Partnerschaften wirklich gelingen.

Is there a science to love? In this groundbreaking book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Amir Levine and psychologist Rachel S. F. Heller reveal how an understanding of attachment theory-the most advanced relationship science in existence today-can help us find and sustain love. Attachment theory forms the basis for many bestselling books on the parent/child relationship, but there has yet to be an accessible guide to what this fascinating science has to tell us about adult romantic relationships-until now. Attachment theory owes its inception to British psychologist and psychoanalyst John Bowlby, who in the 1950s examined the tremendous impact that our early relationships with our parents or caregivers has on the people we become. Also central to attachment theory is the discovery that our need to be in a close relationship with one or more individuals is embedded in our genes. In Attached, Levine and Heller trace how these evolutionary influences continue to shape who we are in our relationships today. According to attachment theory, every person 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 mates) follow. It also offers readers a wealth of advice on how to navigate their relationships more wisely given their attachment style and that of their partner. An insightful look at the science behind love, Attached offers readers a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections.
