Description

Understanding sibling relationships is crucial for professionals working with children and families. This accessible text brings together new and established research to show that these relationships have a significant impact on child development. The book examines the complexities of sibling relationships, considering how they are affected by adverse circumstances such as substance abuse, domestic violence, loss, disability, and mental illness. It also explores how promoting positive connections between brothers and sisters can enhance the effectiveness of work with children and families. With practice notes providing examples of how to focus on sibling relationships in professional work, this book is an important resource for anyone interested in children and families, including students and professionals in social work, counselling, applied social studies, and childhood studies.
