In the 1980s, Sue Johnson began using attachment theory in adult therapy. Children and caregivers remained the primary focus of attachment theory for many years. Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby founded modern attachment theory on studies of children and their caregivers. They have also explored how attachment impacts relationship outcomes and how attachment functions in relationship dynamics.Ĭontinuing the attachment theory Investigators have explored the organization and the stability of mental working models that underlie these attachment styles. The working models of children found in Bowlby's attachment theory form a pattern of interaction likely to continue influencing adult relationships. ![]() Attachment theory, initially studied in the 1960s and 1970s primarily in the context of children and parents, was extended to adult relationships in the late 1980s.

"Untamed" was released in March 2020 but is still ranking on Amazon's bestseller list, was one of the most-read books on Goodreads last year, and is one of Libro.fm's bestselling audiobooks of all time. ![]() What I found was the unflinchingly honest story of a woman allowing herself to be free, told through deeply personal anecdotes and snippets of wisdom that I still think about today. I opened "Untamed" without knowing who Glennon Doyle was or knowing what this book would hold for me. A Third Glennon Doyle Memoir Yes, and Here’s Why With Untamed, the Momastery founder unpacks the many changes in her life since her previous two books, including her divorce from her husband.

I was just months away from changing careers, moving across the country, and marrying my spouse. My long-anticipated library copy of "Untamed" came to me at a very uncertain time of my life.

Glennon Doyle is the author of the 1 New York Times bestseller UNTAMED, a Reeses Book Club selection, which has sold over two million copies. ![]() ![]() I mean, yes, eventually we meet a princess and she has a hound and they are very important to the story, but I never felt like they were the main characters at all, because we never really get any perspective from them. As an aside, it always aggravates me when it feels like the title has nothing to really do with the book. Despite the title, the Princess isn’t really the main character – Prince George is.
