Glenn I. Roisman, Ph.D., a professor in the Institute of Child Development, was quoted in a recent New York Times article that discussed attachment theory.
The article examined how attachment theory can be used to explain and improve how individuals function in relationships. The article also discussed the four classic categories of attachment styles: secure, insecure anxious, insecure avoidant, and insecure disorganized.
“It can also be possible that people should be viewed as along a continuum in all categories,” Roisman said.
