Cain's Legacy: Liberating Siblings from a Lifetime of Rage, Shame, Secrecy, and Regret
Autor Jeanne Saferen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 ian 2012 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Bonds
between
brothers
and
sisters
are
among
the
longest
lasting
and
most
emotionally
significant
of
human
relationships.
But
while
45
percent
of
adults
struggle
with
serious
sibling
strife,
few
discuss
it
openly.
Even
fewer
resolve
it
to
their
satisfaction.
InCain’s
Legacy,
psychotherapist
Jeanne
Safer,
a
recognized
authority
on
sibling
psychology
(and
an
estranged
sister
herself)
illuminates
this
pervasive
but
hidden
phenomenon.
She
explores
the
roots
of
inter-sibling
woes,
from
siblicide
in
the
book
of
Genesis
to
tensions
in
Freud’s
family
history.
Drawing
on
sixty
in-depth
interviews
with
adult
siblings
struggling
with
conflicts
over
money,
family
businesses,
aging
parents,
contentious
wills,
unhealed
childhood
wounds,
and
blocked
communication,
Safer
provides
compassionate
guidance
to
brothers
and
sisters
whose
relationship
is
broken.
She
helps
siblings
overcome
their
paralysis
and
pain,
revealing
how
they
can
come
to
terms
with
the
one
peer
relationship
they
can
never
sever—even
if
they
never
see
each
other
again.
A
heartfelt
look
at
a
too-often
avoided
topic,Cain’s
Legacyis
a
sympathetic
and
clear-eyed
guide
to
navigating
the
darkness
separating
us
from
our
brothers
and
sisters.

“InCain's LegacyJeanne Safer unravels the complex emotional dynamics of human sibling relationships. And I'm glad she does—while most of us make a hash of our dealings with sibs, it helps to know that others are muddling through these issues as well. Her insights on family social tensions help us to understand the incomprehensible.”
New YorkJournal of Books
“Psychotherapist Jeanne Safer'sCain's Legacyis highly recommended for those who want to think about siblings in a new way, as well as get critical insights into the area of sibling strife, its causes, and potential remedies.

Reviews
“An important contribution to the self-help bookshelf.”
Reeve Lindbergh, author ofForward From HereandUnder a Wing
“Cain's Legacyis a compelling, deeply intelligent book about a subject all too often avoided: how destructive relationships between siblings can be, how much a bad sibling relationship can hurt us long after our childhood years are over, and what can be done to acknowledge and repair the damage. Dr. Jeanne Safer has made another courageous, illuminating journey into the dark places of family life.”
Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, author ofThe Empty Room: Understanding Sibling Loss
“InCain's Legacy, Jeanne Safer goes where at least a third of Americans fear to tread—to their troubled and seemingly intransigent relationships with their adult siblings. Safer makes the powerful argument that our brothers and sisters have a profound influence on who we are—even when we appear to be disconnected. For siblings in strife to make peace with the past, and even forge a new present, requires clear-eyed plumbing of the nature of the connection, says Safer.Cain's Legacyshows you how.”
