Book ID/图书代码： 14058007B17003

English Summary/英文概要： 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.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 对于那些重症患儿的兄妹而言，于同一屋檐下生活，他们往往会遭到家庭无心的冷落以及特有的挫折；本书就描述了这样一群特殊的群体。因为作者 Kate 也有一个身患脑瘫的姐妹，所以在这方面，她感同身受，于类似家境中成长起来的孩子，往往会产生孤立及怨恨的情绪，并于成年之后，逐渐转变为抑郁、焦虑等一系列的心理问题。针对上述现象，文中将会给出相应建议，以帮助相关人士正确应对生活中的问题和挑战。(WHL)
