Sibling Group Lends a Helping Hand is an indispensable resource to gain clinical insight into both the psychological and emotional dilemmas, as well as the extraordinary opportunities for compassion, relatedness, and growth. The reader will learn about the use of expressive arts therapies as applied to this unique support group format and gain confidence in communicating with siblings of children with special needs.
