Disorganized Attachment

Attachment GirlAttachment GirlAdmin
I was just "looking inside" a book on adult attachment at Amazon and found the statistic that about 3 to 5 percent of the population can be categorized as having disorganized attachment. Just over 50% are secure, 25% avoidant and 20% anxious. This goes a long way towards explaining why more therapists aren't better at handling patients with disorganized attachment. Rarer than I realized. Just wanted to share as I thought other people might be interested.

If anyone is interested, the book was Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find and Keep Love

Hey AG,
It's interesting stuff - attachment theories, I studied it last year and yes I think more knowledge about the attachment styles certainly provides a person with a greater understanding of human relations and how we react to people, situations and the environment around us. If you are interested in it have a look at John Bowlby - he is highly regarded in that field. There is a book called "Becoming Attached" by Karen Robert that is also interesting if you up to it.
Cheers

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
