Through family interviews and one-to-one meetings, Peter Burke records siblings' views on issues ranging from the everyday social restrictions on their lives, the discrimination they face at school, through to their concerns about the future. He also considers the difficulties for siblings of finding their own identity in  disabled' families, competition for parental attention and the phenomenon of  disability by association' - the tendency for siblings to emulate a disabled brother's or sister's behaviour in an attempt to gain recognition for themselves at home, school and socially. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePutting this within the context of the existing framework of professional practice for sibling and family support services, the author stresses the importance and proven success of sibling support groups as models of empowerment and inclusion, and makes clear recommendations for future practice.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Burke is Senior Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Hull.
