Stories about siblings abound in literature drama comedy biography and history. We rarely talk about our own siblings without emotion whether with love and gratitude or exasperation bitterness anger and hate. Nevertheless the subject of what it is to be and to have a sibling is one that has been ignored by psychiatrists psychologists and therapists. In My Dearest Enemy My Dangerous Friend Dorothy Rowe presents a radically new way of thinking about siblings that unites the many apparently contradictory aspects of these complex relationships. This helps us to recognise the various experiences involved in sibling relationships as a result of the fundamental drive for survival and validation enabling us to reach a deeper understanding of our siblings and ourselves. If you have a sibling or you are bringing up siblings or as an only child you want to know what youâre missing this is the book for you. . Language: English
