Description - Alone in the Mirror by Barbara Klein
Twins face serious challenges when approaching adulthood, as they try to find their own voices and identities in the world. Author Barbara Klein, a practicing psychologist who is a twin herself, discusses the effects of stress and trauma on twin attachments and answers how psychotherapy should be applied to twins. Large emphasis is placed on attachment theory and the focus of the text revolves around the author's observation (concluded from studies and research) that twins form very strong attachments to their therapists, which makes them more vulnerable to the stated and unstated directions from their therapist. A further unique feature of this book is the detailed case studies found in each chapter. This biographical data provides insights into unique identity development that will help the professional and non-professional become more aware of the twin experience.
