Amir Levine

Amir Levine is a psychiatrist, neuroscientist and professor at Columbia University, best known as the co-author of Attached, the hugely popular and influential book on adult attachment theory. The book explains how our attachment styles — secure, anxious, avoidant — determine the course of our relationships, and how to recognise and work with one's own style.

Author of the companion workbook, Levine treats relationships as a biological need and translates attachment science into practical, non-shaming advice. Attached has become a standard recommendation in couple's therapy and self-help reading worldwide, and his research on attachment and brain chemistry continues to shape the field.
