Siblings as Teachers and Therapists

Abstract

Summary Sibling relations at their best encompass both sensitive comforting ana conflictual interchanges as do productive therapeutic and educational encounters. To help practitioners see how siblings can function as therapists and teachers, this paper focuses on understanding how sibling helping occurs in natural and research settings. Siblings as teachers and therapists are viewed from two perspectives: first, within the context of the family system, and second, as a distinct dyadic relational system. Both possibilities and limitations of sibling helping are discussed.
