Only Child Experience and Adulthood
Bernice Sorensen | Palgrave MacMillan| London 2008
ISBN 978-0-230-52101-8
 This
book presents accounts of the experience of growing up without siblings
across the world. The stories, collected through interviews and
the writer's website, offer a range of only-child voices, which
speak of the challenges and differences only-children face throughout
their lives.
The complexity and multidimensional nature of the private,
personal and public worlds of the only-child are discussed from
a social and psychological perspective.
Important insights are given for people in the helping
professions working with child and adult only-children. Above all
the book demonstrates the importance of witnessing and existential
validation for only-children whilst providing understanding to help
guide parents and partners of only-children.
