Reviews

According to the authors, competition among siblings has implications not only in the family but beyond as well. William Hapworth, a psychiatrist, and Mada Hapworth, a psychologist--both of them at Hapworth Centers, a medical-psychiatric facility in New York--and Heilman, a health writer, here discuss the roots of rivalry, including such factors as parental favoritism, gender, birth order and SOSs or "siblings of significance," those children whose accomplishments serve as the standard by which others are measured. The authors examine how roles, labels, expectations and tactics develop in a family and how they can also extend into the workplace and romance. Finally, the authors offer guidance for improving--and enjoying--the sibling relationship. Filled with clinical case histories, this is an informative, coherent study on a much-overlooked topic.
