A neuroscientist and psychiatrist, the book’s author, Amir Levine is zealous about working with patients of different age groups, be they children or adults. When he treated moms with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder during his residency at a therapeutic nursery, he realized the power that possessed by the attachment theory. From there, Levine began using his findings to devise the groundwork for Attached, his revolutionary book which he co-wrote with Rachel F. Heller, an anthropologist, sociologist and fellow psychologist.

Raised in Canada and Israel and having studied at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Levine then went on to complete the residency program at the New York Presbyterian Hospital. Following his graduation from the residency program, he went to Columbia University where he dedicated a few years carrying out neuroscience research. He was mentored by Eric Kandel, a Noble Peace awardee. At present, Dr. Amir Levine resides In New York with his family. He is likewise running a private practice in the same city.
