SSW Professor Geoff Greif is quoted in this CNN.com story that explores the impact siblings have on our relationships.
According to the article "When it comes to our closest adult relationships, the ones we have with our siblings often take a back seat.
Parent-child relationships, romantic relationships and peer relationships hog our collective attention, but we\'re tethered to our brothers and sister far longer; for many of us, our sibling relationships are the longest-lasting ties we have.
In the best-case scenario, this means a built-in best friend for life, but often sibling bonds are fraught and messy. Adult rifts can surface even among siblings who were inseparable in their younger years."
