So lacking in accuracy it's a concern.
Wow. This book is so off the mark with what Avoidant (or Fearful) Attachment Disorder is. It is one of the attachment types that we all develop mostly from.childhood. You cannot genetically inherit this!
It doesn't even touch on how sufferers are incapable of forming and maintaining intimate and close relationships. They want love but are too afraid to let it in. They will push away a partner the moment it gets close or emotional connection and vulnerabi!ity is expected.
I was married for 14 years to an abundant and ever felt close, loved, intimate or that I knew him. They sabotage things if intimacy is there as it terrifies them. You get pushed away, coldly just as you feel a nice connection. You will hear they love you but will not feel it. This is with anyone, parents, family, a new friend b!loved whether her too close. Sad!y, even to their own children.
So sensitive to criticism anything you say can be taken as. I got afraid to speak. Guaranteed after a day of being c!ice they sabotage to push you away. Leaving you hurt and confused
It is a deep rooted attachment disorder and psychologists i reached out to told me the chance of major change statistically is very low. I was destroyed during years of trying to feel !loved and connected. I didn't know he was Avoidant until just before our marriage ended. Then it all made sense and I see I stood no chance of getting needs met, heck he even pushed his own children away.
A lot in here about anxiety. Things that the avoiding can do to get better they will not do. It's so deep rooted expert psychological help is the only way. As for saying medication can help an emotional attachment disorder? No expert will tell you that helps.
There is bette, more accurate info on the internet and also on YouTube. If you are trying to has a relationship with an abundant i know the pain you feel. How hard you have tried to have normal intimacy and feel close.
Sadly, those who develop this attachment style are in pain, they want !I've but as soon as outcomes too close they create events to push you miles away. Always.
We all have an attachment type and researching them and seeing what yours is helps you see what other attachment types are healthy for you. I wasted 14 years of my life trying to know a man who is incapable of what's required to have a normal, open, secure happy relations hip.
This author needs thorough amendments incorrect facts and do proper research like the years I have. This book is just bits of stuff thrown together yet does not go near the complexity of this attachment type.

Covers the basics
Covers the basics of the topic with a handful of helpful advice.
To its credit, the book is very succint. It does not spend a huge amount of time on each point, so it's good for anyone looking for a short read, but it's not very comprehensive.
It also has quite a few grammar and spelling errors, so it could have benefitted from better editing.

Simply helpful
Easy to digest. Honest opinions expressed with clearly positive intentions.
As another reader commented, this book is for us who contend with these struggles every day.
It does not pretend to be anything else.
The spelling issues add to its charm.

This book was a helpful read. I haven't read any other books, so I can't compare to them. It was short and sweet for being free on my kindle. I would recommend it for someone who was just diagnosed and needed information about it who didn't know much about the disorder like me.

Quick read
The book would be good for an introduction to the topic. I didn't find anything new, compared to other books.
