The Effects of Mental Retardation, Disability, and Illness on Sibling Relationships: Research Issues and ChallengesZolinda Stoneman, Phyllis W. Berman "Although professionals have reached a more complete understanding of sibling relationships and disability, there remains an agenda of unexamined questions ... questions that could prove crucial to the well-being of children with developmental disabilities as well as their typical brothers and sisters. The effects of mental retardation, disability, and illness on sibling relationships : research issues and challenges is an authoritative collection of cutting-edge data that serves as a foundation for future research. Emerging from findings presented at a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development conference, this vital resource addresses such important topics as out-of-home placement, pediatric HIV, differential treatment, stress, and coping mechanisms. Issues that are critical to sibling relationships throughout the lifespan are perceptively explored, as well as the impact of the following : mental retardation, complex medical needs, dual diagnosis, physical disabilities, learning disabilities. Chapter after chapter, prominent researchers from a wide range of disciplines illuminate timely research, explore conceptual issues, evaluate methods of study, propose innovative models and perspectives, and reveal promising avenues for further research and intervention."
