What transpires between siblings may be a force for healthy or
pathological development – a source of support or of crippling conflicts.
Conscious and unconscious factors in parents and children, innate
capacities and dispositions of each child, as well as other factors help
to shape this formative relationship and determine its unique
developmental impact. As we have begun to see, siblings can play an
important role in each other’s development. For example, they can
contribute to one another’s efforts to separate and individuate, can
help to promote the development of each other’s capacities for empathy
and mentalization and in general foster each other ’s social
development. Even sibling sexuality and sibling rivalry, which we have
long recognized as forces that can seriously compromise development,
can under certain circumstances, have developmental value. On the
other hand, unresolved sibling conflicts can impair development and
lead to pathology. Difficulties in relating to love partners or in parenting
may have their roots in the adverse relationships some patients have
had with their brothers or sisters. Unfortunately, problematical sibling
relationships may be repeated generation after generation in a family.
In her talk, Ms. Edward will consider the ways in which sibling
envy, jealousy and rivalry may be a positive force for development
and the ways in which it may become a source of lifelong, debilitating
conflict, sometimes eventuating in sibling abuse. Through clinical case
examples she will demonstrate how the impact of sibling discord may
be reflected in some of the issues patients bring to their treatment, and
will consider some of the ways these may be therapeutically addressed.
This encompasses, among other things, recognizing sibling
transferences and countertransferences (including the enactments they
frequently lead to), working with sibling related unconscious fantasies
and understanding the need some patients have to engage with us as
the “good enough sibling” they did not have.
Two members of the SIPP faculty will respond to Ms. Edward’s
material with both clinical material and their own thought provoking
ideas. The presentations will be followed by a facilitated discussion of
the material with all three participants. The final portion of the
conference offers the opportunity for the conference attendees to share
their thoughts, ideas and questions with the panel and each other.

The Suffolk Institute for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
The Suffolk Institute offers a comprehensive certificate
program in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The 4-year
curriculum is reflective of the broad range of analytic theory and
technique. In addition to the comparative study of conceptual and
historical perspectives, the program stresses the unifying principles
of the analytic process such as unconscious processes, transference,
countertransference and resistance. The program is constructed with
the goal of encouraging candidates to discover and enrich their
professional identities through scholarly inquiry, clinical supervision
and individual analytic exploration.
For professionals not yet ready to make the commitment to
the 4-year program, SIPP offers courses in our Proseminar Program.
SIPP is also offering a One Year Program in Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy. SIPP is a member of AAPI (The Association of
Autonomous Psychoanalytic Institutes).
We are currently accepting applications for both of our
programs. For more information, call: 631-724-3414 or visit us on
