Ovaj rad bavi se teorijom privrženosti, prvotno osmišljenom kako bi objasnila emocionalnu povezanost između novorođenčeta i primarnih skrbnika, no nakon godina istraživanja postala je okvir za razumijevanje načina na koji ljudi stvaraju i održavaju partnerske odnose tokom cijelog života. Opisana je i neuro-podloga privrženosti koja nam pomaže razumjeti stabilnost privrženosti te mogućnost za mijenjanje usvojenih obrazaca uslijed novih iskustava. Kroz proučavanje unutarnjeg radnog modela i različitih tipova privrženosti, uočeno je da postoje značajne razlike u funkcioniranju pojedinaca sa nesigurnim i sigurnim tipovima privrženosti. U ovom radu opisane su upravo razlike koje se pojavljuju kod različitih stilova privrženosti u različitim odrednicama partnerskih odnosa; stavovima i uvjerenjima, zadovoljstvu vezom, rješavanje partnerskih sukoba. Predstavljeni su i načini na koji stručnjaci pomažućih profesija mogu povećati dobrobit parova i obitelji koristeći spoznaje iz teorije privrženosti.The main focus of this paper is attachment theory, originally designed to explain the emotional connection between an infant and primary caregiver, but after the years of research it has become framework for understanding how people create and maintain partner relationships throughout their lives.
