Stories about siblings abound in literature, drama, comedy,
biography, and history. We rarely talk about our own siblings
without emotion, whether with love and gratitude, or exasperation,
bitterness, anger and hate. Nevertheless, the subject of what it is
to be and to have a sibling is one that has been ignored by
psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists.
In My Dearest Enemy, My Dangerous Friend, Dorothy Rowe presents
a radically new way of thinking about siblings that unites the many
apparently contradictory aspects of these complex relationships.
This helps us to recognise the various experiences involved in
sibling relationships as a result of the fundamental drive for
survival and validation, enabling us to reach a deeper
understanding of our siblings and ourselves.
If you have a sibling, or you are bringing up siblings, or, as
an only child, you want to know what you re missing, this is the
book for you.
