Title : Addictions,
family communication and attachment
🧩 Overview of
the Research
Dr.
Galán presented an insightful study exploring how family

development of addictive behaviors in adulthood. By analyzing the experiences
of over 400
participants, the study sheds light on how communication
patterns and attachment bonds shape vulnerability to substance
use.
