Riassunto:Sibling relationships have received relatively little attention in the study of family relationships, but they can be crucial to professionals' understanding of the children and families they work with. Sanders (child welfare and child development, Swansea, Wales) offers an account of the complexities of sibling relationships and the ways positive connections between brothers and sisters can enhance family therapy. He examines how sibling relationships are affected by adverse family circumstances (substance abuse, domestic violence, loss, disability and mental illness) and how sibling relationships may promote resilience in children.
