" This] book elucidates the often-forgotten sibling subsystem
and its importance for illuminating family dynamics; it is unique
in its specific approach to violence and
aggression."--PsycCRITIQUES
Most people see aggression between siblings as an unavoidable,
normal and ultimately harmless aspect of child development, yet it
can often cause social adjustment and behavioral problems, some of
which may be severe and even precursors to other forms of violence.
This volume addresses a significant void in family studies and
child development literature by providing an empirically based
guide to the causes, assessment and treatment of sibling
aggression.
Caspi considers both extreme (severe physical and sexual abuse)
and lesser (competition and antagonism) forms of aggression and
provides a step-by-step treatment program for five family dynamics
that commonly exacerbate sibling aggression. Treatment is based on
task-centered and family systems models and bolstered by case
studies. Key Features:
Fills the void in the "emerging frontier" of sibling violence
Addresses both severe and lesser forms of aggression Includes
step-by-step assessment and treatment procedures Offers case
studies Examines cross-cultural factors in sibling violence as well
as abuse of disabled siblings
