Amir Levine

Amir Levine is a psychiatrist and neuroscientist best known for co-authoring the book “Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help YouFind – and Keep – Love.” Published in 2010, “Attached” popularized attachment theory, a psychological framework that explains patterns of relationships based on early childhood experiences, for a general audience.

Levine earned his medical degree from Columbia University, specializing in psychiatry. He has held research and clinical positions at prestigious institutions, including Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital. His expertise lies in understanding the biological and neurological underpinnings of human behavior, particularly in the context of relationships.

Through “Attached,” Levine, along with co-author Rachel Heller, introduced readers to the concepts of secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment styles and how these styles influence romantic partnerships. The book offers practical advice and strategies for individuals to understand their own attachment style and navigate relationships more effectively. Levine’s work has had a significant impact on the field of relationship psychology, providing accessible insights into the science of love and connection.
