A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This original book gives a timely exploration of the importance of sibling relationships from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It presents for the first time an account of the work on brothers and sisters by Sigmund Freud, Melanie Klein and Anna Freud, whose pioneering and vital work on sibling issues has not been systematically examined before. It also explores the important contributions to our understanding of siblings from developmental research, systemic therapy and attachment theory. Through infant observation and clinical work with children and young people, the book reveals the ways in which sibling relationships can be illuminated by these different perspectives. The book aims to stress the importance of multi-disciplinary thinking and to encourage further an interface between psychoanalytic thinking and other disciplines. It is a must for clinicians and other professionals working with children and families and of interest too to the general reader.

Revue de presse :

The editors have succeeded in their self-appointed task to, as they say in the Endpiece, bring together theory, research, and clinical work. They themselves and their chosen contributors more than fulfil this task - a difficult one, to say the least. To marshal and integrate what, from the outside, look like very disparate ways of thinking, to bring together the outer and the inner worlds of these complex relationships, is a huge achievement. Research and clinical work are not always easy bedfellows, but the editors' commitment to good practice sings through their own extensive contributions and those of their chosen authors with compelling force and professionalism. --Margot Waddell from the Foreword
