Many people grow up with at least one sibling. These siblings are
often 'fellow travellers' through adversity or significant life
events; they can act as a source of support for some children while
a source of conflict for others. For these reasons, siblings are a
potentially powerful influence on development and this book is one
of the first of its kind to provide an overview of cutting-edge
psychological research on this important relationship. Why Siblings
Matter is a cornerstone text on siblinghood. Integrating findings
from a 10 year longitudinal study alongside wider research, it
provides a lifespan perspective examining the impact of sibling
relationships on children's development and well-being. This text
situates siblings in their historical, developmental and family
context, considers the influence of siblings on children's
development and adjustment, and provides an introduction to new
research on siblings in diverse contexts. The authors discuss
sibling relationships in varied populations such as siblings with
disabilities, siblings in different cultures and siblings in
non-traditional families, while also considering the practical
implications of research. Covering both classical studies and new
results this book offers take-home messages for promoting positive
sibling interactions. It will be invaluable reading for students
and researchers in developmental psychology and family studies and
professionals in education, health and social work.
