What are the Attachment Styles?

This video describes attachment styles. The model described has two constructs that end up being four attachment styles. The first construct is anxiety, so an attachment style can either be characterized by high anxiety or low anxiety. The next construct is avoidance attachment style and can be characterized by high avoidance and low avoidance. The four attachment styles are secure, anxious-preoccupied, dismissing avoidant, fearful avoidant.

Just a note to say I really enjoy your videos. You explain everything clearly and as I have Asperger's, I like this style of delivery. I watch all of your content, keep up the good work! Lee 😊

I've seen many videos about attachment styles but you Dr. Grande are the first one I've seen that analyzed them in such a clear way to me by introducing the two constructs (anxiety and avoidance). Once again, as with many the other topics you discuss, your analysis was PRECISE and CONCISE; no excessive verbosity, clear and to the point. Thank you!
p.s The description of the video needs a little fix where it says "The next construct is avoidance attachment style and can be characterized by high avoidance and low avoidance". I think the construct is plain "avoidance" not "avoidance attachment style", right? Thanks again!

thanks a lot. Can you make a video for driving phobia and its treatment?

How can you tell the difference between someone with an avoidant attachment style and someone with avoidant or schizoid personality disorder?

Great, thank you. But what about the inner sabateur?
