We rarely talk about our own siblings without emotion, whether with love and gratitude, or exasperation, bitterness, anger and hate. Nevertheless, the subject of what it is to be and to have a sibling is one that has been ignored by psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eMy Dearest Enemy, My Dangerous Friend\u003c\/em\u003e, Dorothy Rowe presents a radically new way of thinking about siblings that unites the many apparently contradictory aspects of these complex relationships. This helps us to recognise the various experiences involved in sibling relationships as a result of the fundamental drive for survival and validation, enabling us to reach a deeper understanding of our siblings and ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you have a sibling, or you are bringing up siblings, or, as an only child, you want to know what youâre missing, this is the book for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\" Written with her usual laserlike clarity and brilliant simplicity Dorothy Rowe has tackled a much neglected subject. Drawing this time on her own personal experiences as well as a rich vein of interviews of case histories this book is a revelation to anyone who has struggled with the pain and pleasure of brotherhood or sisterhood. I relished every word, and as usual after finishing Dorothy's books, the shape of my life feels clearer now than it was before. \"\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Tim Lott\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Part exploration, part thriller, part practical user's manual, this brilliant book reaches deep and far into a relationship that has marked nearly all of us with scars, seen and unseen.
