Its Attachment: A New Way of Understanding Yourself And Your Relationships
Review:
This book lends both clarity and integrity to the important matter of Attachment. It brings breadth and profound depth not often found in self-help books.
-- Carol Cowan-Levine M.S.W, RSW Psychotherapist
It’s Attachment offers us a comprehensive overview of this dominant theory of human development and relationships in a way that that gives us both understanding and practical ideas for constructive changes. Annette shows us the central features of the main attachment patterns that are present throughout childhood and adulthood and how we might identify what pattern characterizes our own life. It also explores how we might change our pattern toward one that provides an autonomous sense of self and satisfying reciprocal relationships. I recommend this book for both its concise description of this important field of knowledge about intimate relationships and for its practical wisdom about how we might best bring safety and joy into these relationships.
-- Dan Hughes, Ph.D. Psychologist and Founder of DDP, South Portland, Maine
In her book, It’s Attachment, Annette Kussin provides clean and practical steps for identifying what attachment patterns we operate from, how to understand the adaptive nature of these patterns and how to change them to allow more effective communication and connection. Annette writes in a warm and engaging style using stories from her many years of clinical practice. I will be recommending this book to my adult clients.
-- Sian Phillips, Ph.D. C. Psych.
It’s Attachment is a welcome book in the field of adult attachment for anyone trying to understand themselves or close relationship. Annette provides a straightforward read detailing the attachment types and how to change them. There is something to learn for everyone in this enlightening book!
