It’s Attachment by Annette Kussin is a awesome book!

From the Back Cover:
How do we make sense of our relationships -- successes and failures, preferences and challenges, past and present. And after we make sense of them all -- what do we do to increase the successes that we are striving to attain. Annette Kussin provides us with a guide to navigating this important aspect of our lives -- It's Attachment! Kussin offers us a comprehensive overview of this dominant theory of human development and relationships in a way that gives us both understanding and practical ideas for constructive changes. She shows us the central features of the main attachment patterns that are present throughout childhood and adulthood as well as clear suggestions for how we might identify what pattern characterizes our own life. From there, her book provides practical insights into how our attachment pattern is central in our choosing a partner and being a parent. It also explores how we might change our pattern toward one that provides the greatest likelihood for developing an autonomous sense of self and satisfying reciprocal relationships.

I found this book to be very helpful in my own life and I highly recommended it. Anyone looking to strengthen their relationships or understand their self better would benefit from reading this book. I also think this would be a great resource for councilors to have on hand.

Annette Kussin’s “It's Attachment: A New Way of Understanding Yourself and Your Relationships,” is a thought-provoking, yet down-to-earth adventure into the wonders of attachment theory. But, it doesn’t consist of purely dry and academic language and theory. While Kussin’s work can be very nerdy at times, her work is very accessible, and she is able to relate the science of attachment to our relationships and our everyday lives. This is an informative read!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This is a really interesting and insightful book into why we develop the relationships we do from childhood all the way to adulthood. This book gives you many scenarios the author has encountered to help you to understand each attachment type and at the end of the book there's exercises for you to do too.
