Attachment and Detachment in Cognitive Psychology

 In cognitive psychology, the terms attachment and detachment refer to how strongly we hold ideas as a part of our identity.

Psychologist Adam Grant (2021) refers to the value of two kinds of detachment as useful:

1. Detaching our present from our past identity,

2. Detaching our opinions from our identity.


Link to the concept of attachment in parent-child bonding.

Link to the concept of self-identity.
