Abstract

This chapter draws on the work of some seminal authors to explore theoretical perspectives surrounding the sibling, the sibling relationship and factors that impact on sibling social development, as this will provide a foundation before exploring and giving an insight into the wider issues and influences that can impact upon them as a consequence of the chronic illness trajectory. Siblings as care-givers are also explored. Sibling conflict can result in positive outcomes for siblings as it can help them to develop social competence in terms of dealing with different situations, as well as help in the formation of identity and development of self. The chapter discusses supportive interventions that can be used to help understand the needs and care of siblings within their family. Case studies are used to explore different aspects of sibling experiences, using cystic fibrosis as the long-term illness example.
