Why I'd hand it to you
Amir Levine, a psychiatrist, and Rachel Heller explain three attachment styles in adult relationships, anxious, avoidant and secure, and how they play out in dating and marriage. Quizzes help you figure out your own style and your partner's, and many readers suddenly understand patterns that have puzzled them for years. It is practical and easy to apply. My reservations: it simplifies a complex body of research into three boxes, and it is written mostly with single daters in mind, so married readers have to translate some advice. Avoidant readers may also feel cast as the problem. Use it as a starting point for conversation, not a diagnosis.
