New Understandings of Twin Relationships From Harmony to Estrangement and Loneliness

Rezension

The book for which you are waiting! If you are a twin, have twins in the family, or are just plain curious about twins-read this book now. The narrative explanation of twin thinking and behavior comes alive from three blended perspectives- communicologist, psychologist, and sociologist. The who, what, where, and why of twin lifeworlds is depicted with profound insight and enticing clarity. The research, the therapy, and the statistics about twins emerges in personal narratives, thematic analysis, and defining typologies. For the general reader and specialist alike, the book covers person to person communication, issues of identity, anxiety, and separation for each twin, each family, and the public response to both.
