Sibling Identity and Relationships

de Rosalind Edwards, Lucy Hadfield, Helen Lucey, Melanie Mauthner

"Sibling Identity and Relationships explores the special place that siblings occupy in the lives of children and young people, providing new insights into sibling identity and relationships. Drawing on social constructionist and psychodynamic perspectives, it discusses who constitutes a sibling, emotional connections and separations, conflict and aggression and how siblings construct and conduct their relationship out of the home, at school and in local communities. This book will appeal to academics and students of childhood studies and social work as well as health and social care professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
