Avoidant attachment is not an absence of affective need, it is a strategy of distance built early to protect against a failing relational environment. This book articulates contributions from attachment theory and schema therapy to understand the intimate functioning of romantic avoidance - both for the person who embodies it and for the one who shares their life.
