The Attachment Effect

Peter Lovenheim takes attachment theory out of the therapist's office and into everyday life — relationships, parenting, and even the workplace — in a way that's genuinely readable without dumbing things down. The Washington Post flagged some places where the evidence gets stretched thin, and the four-style typology can feel a bit like sorting people into boxes, but the core reporting is solid and the ideas land. Adults working through relationship patterns will find real food for thought here.
