This edited volume presents unique insights on sibling relationships in adulthood in the early 21st century, focusing on three themes: relations beyond childhood and school years; factors shaping social support provision between siblings; and changes in family life and how these impact sibling relations. Comprised of chapters from distinguished international family scholars, this book examines sibling dynamics across age, race, culture, gender, sexual orientation, geography, and social environments. It answers important questions such as, to what extent do siblings support each other at different stages of the life cycle? How do cultural practices and family obligations impact on sibling support? How does sibling support differ when looking at surrogates, migrant families, polygamous families, and siblings with disabilities? These contributions expand and contribute greatly to the field of sibling studies and will be of interest to all students and scholars studying and researching family relationships.

Growing up, we typically spend more time with our brothers and sisters than we do with our parents. In an age of divorce, mobility, and alienation, the sibling bond is often the only one that really lasts. Given that brothers and sisters are such a fundamental aspect of human existence, it is remarkable that they have received so little in-depth attention in the field of psychology. Henry Abramovitch’s Brothers and Sisters explores the tension between the myth and reality of brothers and sisters in a variety of cultures and through the poignant brother-sister stories in the Bible. Abramovitch looks at the developmental sequence in the sibling relationship as brothers or sisters struggle to find their place with each other, concluding with a very personal account of his own relationship with his brother and sister.

Sibling relationships are special in many ways, not least because often siblings are the family members who go through their whole lives together But those relationships can be fraught with strife or tension, bouts of happiness or strain and stress. They can predict and affect other relationships in our lives, and they can offer solace or sadness over the years. Here, Suzanne Degges-White looks at the variety of sibling relationships with an eye to improving both the good and the bad. Using real stories throughout, the author illustrates the broad spectrum of problems (and rewards) that can come from having a sibling. Examining such factors as the early family constellation, birth order, cultural diversity, and family communication patterns, Degges-White illustrates how these relationships can affect so many other areas of our lives, and considers how adult sibling conflict, rivalry, abuse, and loss influence our lives. She offers suggestions for effective responses to adult sibling conflict as well as enhancing family communication and deepening the sibling connection in adulthood. No matter what the sibling relationship is or has become, this work will help readers consider how situations might be improved or addressed, even if it means letting go of unhealthy sibling relationships.

TWISTED SISTERS AND DUMB BROTHERS: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK RACE AS WE ONCE KNEW IT. This particular analysis has in a small way tried to analyze what has happened to the great and proud black race as we once knew it. There are several crucial and critical questions which are deemed to be answered here. We now need to bring them to the forefront. SOME FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BLACK RACE PROCESS This analysis has basically tried to provide some interesting insight into why the black race as we once knew it is on its way towards total destruction and annihilation HOW CAN BLACKS STOP ELIMINATE AND SLOW DOWN THIS PROCESS: The key to stopping the whole elimination the eradication of the proud black race as we once have known it; is to figure out what are we going to do to pull ourselves out by the bootstraps and get our economic development and moralist acts together in order that we survive instead of perishing together. A necessary and sufficient derivative for understanding this process will be for the black citizen to try to understand two unequivocal points of interests: 1. How To Learn To Respect Each Other 2. How To Learn To Work And Get Along Together There are no other theoretical concepts of life which makes it harder for blacks to learn more important than that we have to learn to give each other proper respect and the perpetuate the notion that in order for us to prosper that we must learn how to work together.
