william sears uses the terms "lesser quality of attachment", "insecure attachment", and "non-attachment" synonymously. his formulations don't reveal which kind of problematic attachment is meant: reactive attachment disorder (icd), desorganized attachment (ainsworth) or the two forms of insecure attachment (ainsworth). still in 1982, he mentioned "diseases of non-attachment" not referring to the attachment theorists bowlby and ainsworth, but to selma fraiberg, a psychoanalyst who studied blindly born children in the 1970s. due to the vague description of problematic attachment, sears and ap organisations who use his criteria have been reproached to produce a high rate of false positives. the same applies to definitions of attachment therapy, a concept that frequently appears to be partially overlapping with attachment parenting. attachment parenting supporters have distanced themselves from attachment therapy, notably from its methods, but not from its diagnostic criteria.

in regards to romantic relationships, buddhism has very liberal views. buddhism encourages independence through non attachment. non attachment is the idea that in order to be fulfilled and happy in life, a person cannot be attached to any one thing because this thing can cause suffering. in order to be happy and to follow the path of enlightenment, buddhism teaches people to discard all things in life that can cause pain. this idea is not referring to worldly objects in the physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. to achieve non attachment, one must detach from the idea of a perfect person and holding one’s partner to an impossible standard. instead, one must accept a partner for who they are unconditionally. in buddhism, this is the key to a happy romantic relationship. accepting a partner for who they are, for who they are throughout their life no matter what changes, and making the best of every situation is how one achieves personal fulfillment in a romantic relationship.
