The first book to gather studies on siblings from diverse areas of
research, Sibling Relationships across the Life Span examines the
course of the sibling relationship from childhood to the end of
life. Author Victor Cicirelli outlines the factors that influence
the sibling relationship, considering the sibling dyad alone, as
well as in relation to a larger kinship. He provides information
gleaned from studies of stepsiblings wherever possible. Chapter
highlights include a broad framework for viewing sibling research,
including the kin rather than the family network, the total life
span rather than segments of it, and the development and aging of
relationships; new insights into sibling interactions through the
study of a family with nine adult siblings, their spouses, and
their elderly parents and an integration of research on siblings in
the first part of the life span (childhood and adolescence) with
that on the latter part (adulthood and old age). This comprehensive
volume also encompasses a discussion of methodological problems
confronting the sibling researcher; cross-cultural evidence for the
universality of the sibling relationship; sibling-helping
relationships; and special aspects of sibling relationships,
including chronic illness and disabilities, conflict, violence and
abuse, incest and sexual abuse, death, and sibling therapy.
