Based on over 25 years of clinical experience and psychological research, Linda Blair reveals how your birth position, as well as the age difference between you and your siblings, affect your childhood, your life as an adult, and your relationships. The book "Birth Order" is filled with new research and written in a lively, personal tone that will inform and interest you. By reading this unique book, you can better understand yourself, your family, and your partner. It will also illuminate the dynamics of your other relationships, explain why you might repeat patterns in your relationships, and suggest useful strategies to manage others. Chapters cover birth position and what being the eldest, middle, or youngest sibling reveals, the impact of large or small age differences between you and your siblings, family size, the gender of your siblings, parental attitudes towards each child, being an only child, being twins, the effect of half-siblings, and much more.
