"Sibling Abuse Trauma highlights the crucial role the sibling relationship plays in childhood development and an ongoing sense of family, security or otherwise in adulthood. It asserts that this relationship generally outlives other familial bonds and can form one of the most lasting intimate relationships through the life cycle."
