Understanding Attachment

Relationships are fundamental to human experience, and in this course you’ll learn about the common attachment styles and how they affect a person’s life.

As we develop, we develop relationships with those around us, particularly our primary caregiver. The style of relationship we build at this stage can become a blueprint for our relationships of the future, leading us to adopt one of four attachment styles.
