It highlights positive sibling relationships as a source of strength and resilience; at the other end of the spectrum, it addresses sibling abuse. It demonstrates the support that siblings can provide each other in families experiencing mental illness, substance abuse, divorce, and other stressors; it also considers issues of cultural and ethnic diversity, gender, disability, and sexual orientation as they relate to siblings and their families.
