Product Details


Product Description

From Library Journal

In Beyond Sibling Rivalry, family psychologist Goldenthal showed parents how to deal with feuding children. Here, he directs his well-founded advice at adult siblings, but he lacks focus. While he does address some sibling-specific issues in core chapters (e.g., arguing that one doesn't need to be nice to family members simply because one is "stuck" with them), most of the content is applicable to all relationships. For example, Goldenthal talks about the importance of watching for nonverbal cues and wisely choosing one's battles. The most compelling part of the book is an appendix-like chapter that lists ways for parents to reduce sibling conflict. Overall, most of what Goldenthal covers can be found in other books on relationships. An optional purchase for public libraries.

First Sentence
During the twenty years that I have been helping people to improve their family relationships, I have met many hundreds of people, very few of whom have been totally happy about their relationships with their brothers and sisters. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Insight on Sibling Rivalry Dec 28 2012
By juvfrench - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great guide for me, although I think that the author doesn't address my problem. I can't even begin to have a dialogue with my siblings because I am never allowed to speak. The discussion becomes a monologue, not a dialogue...very frustrating interactions with my siblings. The book mainly validated some of the observations/characteristics that I see with my family's dysfunctions, and would like to see change.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best resource for dealing with sibling problems Jun 14 2012
By happycamper45 - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've read several titles about dealing with unhappy sibling relationships.

This book is by far the best. It covers the range of the most situations in the difficult sibling spectrum and gives practical, compassionate advice on how to deal with your brother or sister.

After reading it, I felt I had a better perspective on my personal situation and the tools to handle future interactions.
