The Sibling Bond

When The Sibling Bond was first published in 1982, the word "sibling" was almost synonymous with "rivalry." But Stephen Bank and Michael Kahn changed all that with this pathbreaking book, which provides a rare glimpse into the inner lives of siblings and explores their unique and enduring relationships. Updated with a new introduction by the authors, this edition shows the sibling relationship as a distinctive emotional and passionate power that shapes who we are and who we become. Book jacket.
