La nueva ciencia del apego adulto y cómo puede ayudarte a encontrar el amor y conservarloCodependientes, fusionados simbióticos... Hasta hace poco, los terapeutas consideraban la tendencia a aferrarse a una relacion insatisfactoria como un trastorno de la personalidad.En este titulo rompedor, el neurologo y psiquiatra Amir Levin junto con la psicologa social Rachel Heller desmontan el mito de las "mujeres que aman demasiado" y demuestran, con datos contrastados y reveladores ejemplos, que, lejos de ser una disfuncionalidad, la necesidad de sentirnos seguros junto a otra persona esta grabada en nuestros genes. Estamos biologicamente programados para depender de otras personas igual que un niño depende de su madre. Basandose en las teorias del psicologo John Bowlby, que fue el primero en definir la necesidad de apego para un correcto desarrollo en la infancia, definen tres clases de apego: seguro, ansioso y evitador. Averiguar que tipo de apego domina nuestras relaciones y transformarlo en uno seguro y estable nos permitira entablar vinculos sanos y satisfactorios.
