Adults with siblings actually have two sets: the flesh-and-blood ones they grew up with, who have changed and aged together, and the ones who are a creation of their childhood perceptions, resentments, and idealizations about the original siblings. These siblings, like ghosts, are not visible; they never age. People carry them within, and, at varying times, are haunted by them. The ghosts have four components--frozen images, crystallized roles, unhealthy loyalty, and sibling transference--each of which has a unique effect on one's adult life and all may be transferred onto important adults in their love, work, and friendship lives.

A guide aimed at professionals, giving effective techniques for teaching and supervising group therapy. It brings together teaching and supervisory models for a host of theoretical orientations, including psychodynamic, family systems, psychodrama, gestalt, and transactional analysis.
