(When one begins to examine the existing literature dealin...)
When one begins to examine the existing literature dealing with siblings, one soon becomes aware that many separate domains of sibling research exist and that there is little connection between them; for example, sibling relationships in early childhood, genetic and environmental influences on individual differences between siblings, dysfunctional sibling relation ships, adult sibling helping relationships, sibling violence and abuse, and so on. The author's aim in writing this book was to attempt to bring together for the first time studies from diverse areas of sibling research into a single volume. The book is a summary and integration of the various domains of sibling studies, extending across the life span where studies exist to make this possible. Although many gaps in the sibling research literature within and between domains of study and over the life span still exist, it is hoped that this book will motivate others to help fill in the gaps by suggesting direc tions where further research is needed.

Do negative attitudes towards elderly members of the family affect the quality of family caregiving? Can authoritarian family traditions influence the frequency of paternalistic decision making? This volume answers these and other vital questions and discusses family caregiving in the long-term care system, the meaning of autonomy and paternalism, the nature of dyadic family decision making and how it is affected by factors such as lack of education. Unique to this volume is its emphasis on autonomy in family care as opposed to formal care.
