In the last decade, the significance of siblings in children's
development and adjustment has been widely recognized, and research
on brothers and sisters has increased dramatically. Bringing
together exciting research on siblings by leading developmental
psychologists and clinicians, this volume's contributions were
originally presented at the First International Symposium on
Siblings held in Leiden. This book focuses on both the significance
of siblings as influences on individual development, and on the
importance of the relationship in families with sick, disabled or
troubled children. It covers the recent developmental research with
chapters on the development of sibling relationships in early and
middle childhood, the links between sibling relationships and those
with parents, peers and friends, and the influence of siblings on
children's adjustment. It then focuses on clinical issues such as
siblings as sources of support for unhappy or sick children, or for
children in disharmonious homes, and the vulnerability of siblings
of disabled children. These clinical issues are discussed in
practical terms by leading practitioners.
Clear in presentation, comprehensive in its coverage of the
exciting recent research, and full of practical insights, this
volume brings to light important developmental principles, and
raises questions regarding the assumptions about family processes
and how different relationships within the family affect one
another. For family researchers, those interested in the individual
development of children, and for clinicians concerned about the
impact of troubled or disabled children on their siblings or the
potential of siblings as therapists, this bookwill be the key. No
other book covers the recent research in this important topic and
discusses the clinical issues in depth and in practical
terms.
