The siblings of children with special needs are often the forgotten ones in families struggling to cope with the demands of having a child with a disability or chronic illness. Kate Strohm's book Siblings finally gives these sisters and brothers a voice. Kate, who has a sister with cerebral palsy, bravely shares her own story, and the stories of other siblings who struggle with their feelings of resentment, guilt, grief and isolation. She also explores how these difficulties can manifest in adulthood as depression, anxiety and other psychological problems, and gives detailed strategies for coping and coming to terms with these feelings. 'Siblings is a book that should be read by anyone coming into contact with a family that includes a child with a disability, whether through their work or socially.' - Professor Graham Vimpani, University of Newcastle.
