My Dearest Enemy, My Dangerous Friend: Making and Breaking Sibling Bonds by Dorothy Rowe |
Rowe is a psychologist/author with great understanding and her interpretation is more anecdotal and qualitative than clinical - she admits that it's difficult to draw conclusions as sibling relationships are 'as various as snowflakes'. This book is fascinating and absorbing; full of examples from friends, patients, literature and even her own experience. It necessarily explores related areas of psychology and the chapter 'Loyalty and Brotherhood', particularly on the Middle East and Northern Ireland, is excellent.
