The New Book
Respected therapist Dr. Glenn Thomas presents his groundbreaking new work, The Seven Secrets of Attachment, drawing on forty-five years of clinical experience.
​
This thoughtful volume introduces Universal Attachment Theory, expanding attachment beyond human relationships to include our bonds with pets, places, objects, and beliefs.
Across 305 pages and 500 vivid photographs, Dr. Thomas explores how these attachments shape our identity, resilience, and emotional life. At the heart of the book are seven essential “secrets of attachment” — principles that explain what happens after bonds form, how they guide our choices, and how both blind attachment and blind detachment can affect our well-being.
​
The Seven Secrets of Attachment offers accessible insights for both professionals and everyday readers, as early as high school students, seeking deeper self-awareness, healthier relationships, and a richer understanding of the connections that define us. To make complex ideas more accessible and memorable, purposeful graphical organizers, photographs with text, are used throughout. These visuals are not mere decoration; they are teaching tools, designed to deepen understanding and help readers retain insights that might otherwise fade.
​
Dr. Thomas also incorporates clue context learning, a method where readers are given visual and textual clues and invited to uncover each attachment effect before the answer is revealed. This approach turns the seven secrets into a kind of mystery, engaging the reader in active discovery. Combined with the use of graphical organizers, it produces a subtle but powerful effect: the book appears simple on the surface, but by the end, readers find themselves with a deep and lasting understanding of the concepts — an insight that seems innocent at first, but profound in effect.

Reviews
“Wonderful Dr. Thomas!! So timely, so apt, so right on the money! I think folks are really going to enjoy the journey with you! It’s rare you feel that in a book, but just in this short reading, I began to question and attach meaning to my own attachments and was thirsty to learn more. I feel all ages would benefit from the seven secrets of attachment! I thought it provided great insight and examples of how we can potentially improve our daily experiences in what it means to be human.
