Sibling Identity and Relationships by Rosalind Edwards

Sibling Identity and Relationships by Rosalind Edwards

Reviewing current literature on sibling relationships as well as proposing alternative theoretical perspectives, this book discusses who constitutes a sibling and explores how children understand their sibling relationships.

Tony Gillam: '.. the subject matter has broad appeal - I would read it out of interest as a sibling myself, as a parent of two siblings and as a practitioner of family therapy. If written and presented in a reasonably accessible style, the proposed book has the potential for a wider general readership."

Eia Asen: "very worthwhile book to publish ... there is relatively little written in this field from a social science perspective. I like the contrast between the 'accepted' wisdom of parents and professionals with the siblings' own narratives. This could be helpful for a whole range of people - professionals, parents, siblings, even social scientists!"
