Dr. Mahir Abdelhamid, a psychological consultant, writes this important book in simple language, so that anyone who needs it can understand it. He says, “Fear of love, attachment, or abandonment is, in essence, a crisis of attachment. Our conflicts, prejudices, and judgments are also crises of attachment. Our escapism, excessive emotions, lack of sexual or emotional satisfaction, and our tendency to be attracted to certain people are all crises of attachment. Staying in bad relationships, feeling isolated, repeating harmful relationships, and feeling insecure, fearful, and doubtful are also crises of attachment.” This book provides an overview of the theory of attachment, the different types of attachments, and their effects on intimate relationships and therapy. The goal of this book is to help us understand ourselves and those we love, so that we can help ourselves and others. It also aims to provide us with a map of love, so that we can achieve the strong, intimate relationships we desire—relationships that are close and supportive.
