This English translation of the Spanish bestseller Apego y psicopatología is an interdisciplinary study on how the early years of our life can influence the way we view ourselves and others.

The book is split into two parts, the first exploring the theoretical foundations of the PARCUVE model created by the author, which describes the importance of the early years of our lives in the origin of many psychological pathologies. The second addresses the treatment of emotions, feeling, and behaviors associated with psychological disorders from a body-mind-brain integrative approach, as well as through different therapeutic approaches that have proven their efficacy in the past. It provides readers with tools to intervene with patients from different angles, and thus attack psychological pathologies at the root, beyond the symptoms.

Enriched with real life examples to assist in readers' understanding of the neurobiological and emotional processes, Attachment and Psychopathology is an ideal resource for psychologists and psychology students, psychiatrists and psychiatry students, and social workers.

"This book is unmissable, because it gives sense to trauma reactions. On reading it, you suddenly understand the logic behind panic, OCD, dissotiation..."

Olga Castanyer, clinical psychologist, writer and Director of the "Serendipity" Collection for publisher Desclee de Brouwer.

"I wholeheartedly recommend Attachment and Psychopathology: Anxiety and Its Origin by Manuel Hernandez Pacheco. This book brilliantly bridges attachment theory, neurobiology, and clinical practice through the groundbreaking PARCUVE model, offering a powerful lens to understand and treat anxiety disorders rooted in trauma. Its evidence-based insights and practical case studies have enriched my work with patients, providing a clear roadmap to address attachment wounds that amplify traumatic stress. For trauma professionals seeking innovative, actionable strategies to elevate their practice, this book is an essential resource. Read it—you’ll find transformative tools to better serve your clients."

Oscar Joe Rivas, PhD. executive director of Instituto Newman, México.

"The author's erudite knowledge about biology, psychology, trauma, and attachment is intertwined with his profound life experience, spanning hundreds of peoples and cultures around the world, to present us with this extraordinary work written by Manuel Hernández, which is a must-read for all those seeking to expand their understanding and transform their approach to the fundamental issues this book addresses."
