Description
In Attachment and the Defence Against Intimacy, Linda Cundy delves into the intricate world of human relationships through the lens of psychoanalytical theory. This compelling work explores how our early attachments shape our ability to connect with others in adulthood, often leading to a complex interplay between intimacy and self-protection.
