Twins in Session: Case Histories in Treating Twinship Issues
Why would a twin sacrifice her own needs to make sure her same-age sibling is always cared for?
What would cause a twin to have panic attacks when he and his brother go away to separate colleges?
Why do some twins find it so difficult to develop friendships and romantic relationships?
The "twin mystique" and twins' own expectations of their relationship contribute to their difficulties. A therapist who understands the psychology of twins can articulate what's going on between the siblings. Clients will feel validated as well as relieved to gain clarity about a defining aspect of their identity.
Twins in Session shows therapists how important the twin connection is, what it means, why it's sometimes more important than the relationship to either parent, and why some twins don't know who they are apart from the twinship. It will help therapists become a trusted outsider who can give twin clients perspective about their twinship issues and assist them in developing healthy relati

I am very much enjoying reading about twins. It is not something you find sufficient material on. I am a twin, and I loved reading about other twins and their relationships, it is a little therapeutic for me. People who are "singletons" (I actually did not know that this word existed!) or who are not same aged with an identical or fraternal twin, have no idea how complex the relationship is. Especially for twins who have conflicts, or don't have the happiest of relationship to their twins.
I think this book helps people especially who have some conflict with that relationship, and also, it makes you see how important it is to work how that relationship affects they way you relate to others too. Great for couples and parents of twins too.

I am a therapist and a twin. This book helped me understand myself and my twin.
It will help me with treating twins.
Dr. Friedman addresses the myths about twins that make a difficult beginning in life much worse. I hope everyone learns more about what being a twin is like.
