New Understandings of Twin Relationships takes an experience-based
approach to exploring how twin attachment and estrangement are
critical to understanding the push and pull of closely entwined
personal relationships. Based on the research expertise of each of
the authors (all identical twins in their own right), and vignettes
from twins across the globe, this book describes the inner workings
of the twin-world, showing how the twin-world creates experiences
that are often more intense and intricately textured than those in
the singleton-world. Chapters debunk myths surrounding twinship and
analyze the developmental stages of the twin relationship as well
as the effect of being a twin on one's mental health from different
perspectives. The authors articulate how attachment, separation
anxiety, loneliness, estrangement, and the subjective experience of
the twin and non-twin "other" impact behavior, thinking, and
feeling. Through its careful study of the many psychological
challenges that twins face throughout their lifetime, this text
will help psychologists, scholars, clinicians, and twins themselves
attain a deeper understanding of all interpersonal relationships.
The development of how twins relate to each other and their single
partners is explored through life stories and clinical examples in
this telling study of twin interconnections. While the quality of a
nurturing family life is crucial, Dr. Klein has found there are
often issues with separation anxiety, loneliness, competition with
each other, and finding friendships outside of twinship. When twin
lives are entwined because of inadequate parenting and
estrangement, twin loss is possible and traumatic, creating a
crippling fear of expansiveness-an inability to be yourself.
Therapists and twins seeking an understanding of twin relationships
will find this clinically compelling book a valuable resource.

Raising an extremely bright child - quick, curious, sensitive, and
introspective - is a daunting challenge. Parents need insight into
their own motivations (as well as those of their children), and the
courage and ability to make tough decisions about their child's
development. "Raising Gifted Kids" will help parents understand and
cope with the obstacles they face in raising a gifted child, and
help them make the best choices for their son's or daughter's
growth and happiness.

Alone in the Mirror: Twins in Therapy chronicles the triumphs and
struggles of twins as they separate from one another and find their
individuality in a world of non twins. The text is grounded in
issues of attachment and intimacy, and is highlighted by Dr.
Barbara Klein s scholarly research, clinical experiences with twins
in therapy, and her own identity struggles as a twin, all of which
allow her to present insights into the rare, complicated, and
misunderstood twin identity. She presents psychologically-focused
real life histories, which demonstrate how childhood experiences
shape the twin attachment and individual development, and she
describes implications for twins in therapy, their therapists, and
parents of twins. Unique to this book are effective therapeutic
practices, developed specifically for twins, and designed to raise
the consciousness of parents as well. Readers will find these
practices and the insights within invaluable, whether they use them
to communicate with twin patients, family members, or if they are
part of a twinship themselves.

Even twins are unique. Most people idealize twins, fantasizing a
close, perpetually loving relationship. Yet Klein, herself an
identical twin, demonstrates that twins have complicated and
intense relationships that range from over-identification or
excessive closeness to profound estrangement and conflict. Most
twins who are raised as individuals deal with the significant
emotional pain of separation in adolescence or young adulthood, yet
as mature adults can come to love and respect each other as
individuals.
As Klein makes clear, the parenting that twins receive as
infants and young children affects the relationships that they have
with one another and with the world they choose to function in.
Because parenting is a critical determinant of psychological
well-being, it should be treated as a serious but manageable
challenge. This book is a must-read for twins, their parents, and
scholars, students, and other researchers and professionals dealing
with mental health and child development.
Educating and raising gifted children presents highly specific
challenges. This book explains how parents can learn to optimize
their child's potential and work with schools, spouses, friends,
and specialists to create a nurturing and stable life. Having a
gifted child is a joy, but it is also one of the greatest
challenges of parenthood to help that child find the right fit for
education. In this remarkably insightful text, noted psychologist
Barbara Klein, PhD, EdD, explains the emotional and social issues
of giftedness, identifies parental actions and reactions that can
exacerbate or soothe the challenges, and describes how these key
factors tie in to identifying the best school and educational
program to enable a gifted child to achieve his or her goals and
maximize success. The text includes many vignettes from children
and families who have sought guidance across 30 years from the
author, an accomplished psychotherapist recognized as a national
authority on raising gifted children. This single-volume work
presents an understandable theoretical overview of the
psychological problems parents face raising their gifted child and
clearly explains why the parent-child interaction can be so intense
and stressful-a reality that is rarely acknowledged in the existing
literature on giftedness. Parents of gifted children will learn how
to make decisions about their children's social emotional
development and educational future and understand how their actions
can be helpful or harmful to their gifted child and his/her
education. Educators will fully grasp why and how gifted kids are
different and why they need different educational environments,
while mental heath professionals will gain insight into their
gifted patients' emotional struggles. And gifted individuals will
realize that others experience similar struggles. Details how to
find a school that satisfies a child's particular needs Presents
the ideas, thoughts, and feelings of parents in words that other
parents with gifted children can identify with and understand
Provides information on the over-excitabilities and intensities of
gifted children presented in a practical, straightforward way that
helps the reader apply these concepts in actual strategies in their
everyday lives Identifies specific problems of parents with gifted
children and outlines effective solutions to these challenges
These eight magical stories address the Edenic spaces that people
create in their lives and the serpents that subtly inhabit them. In
"Rug Weaver" (selected for Best American Short Stories 2001) an
Iranian rug dealer makes a paradise of his prison cell by weaving
an elaborate rug in his mind. Grieving parents in the title story
transfigure a luxury subdivision in southern California into a
vision of heaven. And in the novella "The Palm Tree of Dilys
Cathcart" an unlikely love story unfolds between an Orthodox Jewish
butcher and a lonely English piano teacher, who discovers a hunger
for intimacy and ritual as she helps the butcher transcribe the
mysterious songs he hears in his head. These and other stories
constitute an elegant and richly evocative collection about the
complexities of worldly and spiritual desires. Reading group guide
included.
