Self-Help Relationships
Breaking new ground in women's psychology, an exploration of
the intricacy, friction, and love in the bonds between sisters. Relationships between women are often freighted with a rocky
mix of emotions—devotion and disregard, affection and
loathing, admiration and envy—leading to anguish and
confusion on the playground, in the home, and in the
boardroom. A woman's experience negotiating her layered
feelings toward a sister shapes her psychology as forcefully
as do her relationships with her parents. By exploring
sisterhoods, Terri Apter reveals their key role in
understanding all relationships among women. In a series of
compelling interviews, Apter considers the many aspects of
the sister relationship from birth through adulthood. The
need to fight to differentiate oneself from a sister, as
well as the protectiveness one feels for that same person,
is explained by reference to extensive psychological and
biological evidence. Not only women with sisters will be
enlightened by this original book: The Sister Knot sheds
light on all relationships between women.
