Siblings share a unique relationship: They have known each other
longer than anyone else. No matter how close or distant siblings
are today, they are part of each other. As adults, they actually
are part of two sibling sets. The original siblings are the ones
who grew up together and have changed and aged together. The second
set is the creation of their childhood perceptions, feelings,
hurts, and resentments, as well as idealizations about the original
siblings. These siblings, like ghosts, are not visible; they never
age. While these siblings mostly lie dormant, when they jump into
action, they distort how adults relate to their siblings now. The
"sibling ghosts" have four components-frozen images, crystallized
roles, unhealthy loyalty, and sibling transference-each of which
has a unique effect on one's adult life, and all of which may be
transferred onto important adults in their lives, including spouses
and lovers, people at work, and friends. For therapists of all
theoretical orientations, Sibling Therapy: The Ghosts from
Childhood that Haunt Your Clients' Love and Work is the first book
that provides a theoretical framework for working with adult
siblings and will be helpful in understanding the influences of
clients' ghosts, especially when dealing with intractable problems.
While based in systemic theory, the book goes beyond, looking at
the specific issues related to being siblings. The ideas and the
numerous clinical examples presented here are applicable for family
therapists, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists,
counselors, pastoral counselors, and anyone working in a
therapeutic position, as well as masters and doctoral students in
these fields
