002 – Does Attachment Theory Apply to Adults?

December 22, 2011 in Science with 1 Comment

Attachment theory tells us that we are made to be connected to others. However, a lot of the initial research involved mothers and children. Does it apply to adults as well? In our latest podcast, Rebecca and I talk about this with Dr. Phil Shaver, considered by many to be “the father of adult attachment theory.”

    I’m so excited we have this content to offer here, because knowing about attachment theory and attachment style can really help in personal growth and relationship satisfaction.

    Here’s one of my all time favorite links, by Dr. Chris Fraley -based on his and Phil Shaver’s initial scale – use it to see what your attachment style is. http://www.web-research-design.net/cgi-bin/crq/crq.pl
