Sibling traps

Difficult sibling relationships have been with us since time immemorial and are still very common today. Even those who aren't personally affected know friends or acquaintances who remain entangled in sibling conflicts throughout their lives. Complex sibling relationships usually stem from unresolved childhood traumas, which is one reason why the intensity of these emotions is often so great. These wounds need to be healed.

Using vivid case studies, Heinz-Peter Röhr describes typical sibling conflicts and offers concrete suggestions for resolving them, such as what to do when a brother or sister suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder. Drawing on his many years of experience as a psychotherapist, he shows ways to break free from the early bonds of sibling conflict and find more joy and peace in life.
