Elders are more likely to confront the death of a sibling than any other kinship bereavement. Yet we know almost nothing about the impact of sibling deaths on older adults. We used attachment theory to generate hypotheses about the impact of this life event on physical health, mood, social support, and economic outcomes in late life. At the Duke University site of a large multi-center epidemiologic study (EPESE), 3173 elderly community-dwellers provided data on bereavements experienced in the past year as well as on demographic, health-related, and socioeconomic characteristics. Bereaved siblings were more functionally and cognitively impaired than bereaved friends and rated their overall health as worse than bereaved spouses or bereaved friends who were similarly impaired. Brothers and sisters bereaved of a brother reported excess financial hardship and mood impairment, respectively. Terminal care programs should screen for excess risk among surviving siblings and plan for assisting these survivors in adaptation to this loss.

Abstract The deaths of family members constitute one of the most serious negative life events experienced in adulthood. The impact of these losses on psychological well-being may differ considerably by the structural relationship between the deceased and the survivors, and by the genders of both family members; however, few studies have been able to explore these variations by generation, gender, and time since death. In this paper, we use mixed-methods data to explore how depressive symptoms are affected differentially in adulthood by the deaths of mothers, fathers, and siblings, as well as by the gender of survivors. We address these questions using data collected from approximately 600 adult children nested within 250 later-life families, in which approximately 55% experienced the death of at least one parent and 15% experienced the death of a sibling in the previous decade. Preliminary multilevel regression analyses showed that deaths of siblings predicted sisters’ but not brothers’ depressive symptoms. In the case of parents, only mothers’ deaths were found to predict daughters’ depressive symptoms, whereas neither parents’ deaths predicted sons’ well-being. Further, these patterns differed little by time since death. Qualitative data revealed that women were more likely to report that both their mothers’ and siblings’ deaths had led to higher conflict within the sibling network, which previous research has shown predicts psychological well-being. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the salient role of gender in shaping well-being in the face of events of deaths of parents and siblings in adulthood.

IntroductionDissociative identity disorder (DID) is a debilitating and controversial psychiatric disorder with a lifetime prevalence estimated around 1,5%. It remains underdiagnosed despite recognition in international classification of mental disorders. In fact, based on the DSM-5 criteria, DID is characterised by two or more distinct personality states that coincide, with fluctuating consciousness and changing access to autobiographical memory. The aetiology of DID has long been debated with recent neuroimaging evidence supporting the trauma model of this condition.ObjectivesThe aim of this presentation is to describe the case of a young female diagnosed with DID related to childhood trauma.MethodsWe also conducted a literature review in order to discuss the aetiology of the disorder. The following keywords were searched through the pubmed website: dissociative identity disorder, trauma, aetiology.ResultsWe report the case of a 20 years old female with no past medical, nor psychiatric history. However, she had a family history of an uncle and an aunt with chronic psychosis. Her father died when she was 8, thus she lived with her mother and her brother and two sisters. She was a brilliant student and started engineering studies. She has no particular personality trait. She was raised within a strict religious family with little time dedicated to leisure activities. Importantly, since the age of 10, she was exposed to her mother’s religious extremist and threatening discourses, related to death and “grave’s torture” and comprising many cultural beliefs. She seeks for psychiatric care complaining of “soliloquy” that became remarkable by her relatives. On psychiatric evaluation she presented daily fluctuating consciousness during at least one hour, in which she switches identity toward the daughter of a famous singer. This alter was having pleasant activity with her mother and was singing and hanging out most of the time. No particular triggers were identified. The trouble started by the age of 14 then worsened gradually and became an unvoluntary phenomenon with significant distress. She had no depressive nor psychotic nor anxiety or obsessive symptoms. Her sleep and appetite were not disturbed. She met DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for DID and was referred to a trained psychiatrist for adequate psychotherapy management.ConclusionsWe exposed a rare case of a young student complaining of soliloquy since the age of 14 that was diagnosed with DID subsequent to a particular childhood trauma which consisted in exposure to threatening religious and cultural beliefs about life after death told by her mother. This unique case emphasises the trauma model of DID, where the nature of the trauma influences the clinical expression of DID. Given the recent neuroimaging evidence, DID can be framed as a chronic psychiatric disorder based on neurobiological, cognitive, and interpersonal non-integration as a response to unbearable stress.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Full textAbstract:
Using a combination of brief case studies and statistical analysis of probate disputes in eighteenth-century England, this article argues for an expanded interpretation of Georgian family life—an interpretation that understands the tugs and pulls of siblinghood. In the eighteenth century, emerging ideas about social equality based on idealized siblinghood tangled with engrained family hierarchies to produce messy, constantly shifting, sibling politics. Confronting competing social expectations that classified them as equals yet ranked them hierarchically by gender, birth order, and marital status, Georgian sisters and brothers fiercely wrestled over material and emotional investments from their parents and from one another. Sibling conflict was most common when reality sharply diverged from expectations of equality, such as between older sisters and younger brothers or between men and their brothers' widows.

Introduction Although visual impairment appears to be a risk factor for schizophrenia, early blindness may be protective , It’s a phenomenon that has puzzled even the smartest scientific brains for decades. It might surprise you: no person born blind has ever been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Objectives The objective of this research is to discover the relationship between schizophrenia and congenital blindness is there a protective gene ! is that visual perception constitutes an essential stage in the onset of the disease itself ! Methods Case study of a family consisting of thirteen brothers and sisters, three of whom were blind at birth, three with schizophrenia. the study of the files of schizophrenic patients hospitalized in our structure since it opened in the 1970s Results Case study of a family consisting of thirteen brothers and sisters, three of whom were blind at birth, three with schizophrenia, but there is none with blindness at birth and schizophrenia. PLus on the basis of medicals files there is no case of schizophrenia with blindness at birth. Preliminary observational analysis of this clinical case suggests the following hypothesis: the presumed protective role of congenital blindness against schizophrenia. The bibliographic research has objectified three recent studies in this direction in Australia, Denmark, and the USA. Conclusions The relationship between schizophrenia and congenital blindness is still unrecognized and controversial Several studies are done in this direction, but so far there is no assertion or confirmation of the hypothesis Disclosure No significant relationships.

The article discusses the laws of inheritance in the state of Texas USA, describes in detail the issues of inheritance and the inheritance of ownership in case of death of one spouse in the presence of a will or in the absence thereof. The government of Texas divides the property held by a married couple into common and separate property, which determines some features in its inheritance, which are described in the article. It is worth noting that the laws governing the order of inheritance in Texas are quite detailed and include a detailed procedure for implementing the procedure in question. The state does not collect taxes on inheritance. However, if the deceased did not leave a will, then there may be difficulties with entering into the inheritance. In this regard, the article pays special attention to the hereditary rights of children, brothers, sisters, parents and other family members in the event of the death of one of the spouses

The article presents the results of archival research devoted to the study of the Moscow branch of the family tree of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The object of consideration was the generation of the grandchildren of the grandfather of the writer Fyodor Timofeevich Nechaev: the Dostoevskys (the children of Maria, his daughter from his first marriage), the Shers and the Stavrovskys (the children of the daughters of F. T. Nechaev from his second marriage — Olga and Ekaterina). Biographical data about the relatives and cousins of F. M. Dostoevsky were extracted from parish and consistory metric books stored in the Central State Archive of the City of Moscow. With a few exceptions (Mikhail, Andrey), metric records of the birth of the writer's siblings are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time; in some cases, archival documents allowed correcting inaccuracies that were present in the biographical literature about Dostoevsky. Of the thirteen Sher brothers and sisters, male and female cousins of the writer, the names of seven were not previously mentioned even in the fundamental “Chronicle of the Generations of Dostoevskys” (2012). Of the seven Stavrovsky brothers and sisters, two were also named for the first time. Metric birth records are provided for all twenty of these relatives of Dostoevsky; for those who died in infancy, there are also death records. In four cases, the article published metric records of the wedding of the writer’s male and female cousins. In conclusion, the importance of biographical information about the Shers and the Stavrovskys is emphasized for the study of such an important event in the life of F. M. Dostoevsky in the 1870s, as was the litigation over the inheritance of A. F. Kumanina, the writer's mother's sister and half-sister of Olga Sher and Ekaterina Stavrovskaya (the so-called “the Kumanin heritage case”).

Abstract Previous studies showed an increased prevalence of testicular cancer among fathers and brothers of testicular cancer patients. We examined whether testicular, other genital, and breast cancers aggregate in parents and siblings of testicular cancer patients in a population-based case-control study, including males, ages 15 to 69 years at diagnosis, with primary malignant tumors of the testes or extragonadal germ cell tumors. Controls were ascertained through the mandatory registries of residents and frequency matched to the cases by age and region of residence. In a face-to-face interview, 269 cases and 797 controls provided health-related information on parents and siblings. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) based on the generalized estimating equations technique, adjusting for the matching variables and relatives' age. Three (1.1%) fathers and eight (3.2%) brothers of cases were affected with testicular cancer compared with four (0.5%) fathers and two (0.2%) brothers of controls. The OR (95% CI) of familial testicular cancer was 6.6 (2.35-18.77). Only nonseminoma patients had fathers with testicular cancer, whereas the affected brothers were all related to seminoma patients. Overall, we found an increased risk for genital other than testicular cancers (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.43-4.43). For breast cancer, we detected an increased risk in sisters (OR 9.5, 95% CI 2.01-45.16, adjusted for age of study participant and age of sister) but not in mothers. Our findings support the hypothesis that testicular and other genital cancers have a common familial component that may be due to genetic and shared exogenous factors such as estrogen exposure during fetal development.

Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together is a document of joint common ground between Muslims and Christians. It reinforces the initiative to work together for world peace. It has inspired the spirit of fraternity based on the teaching inherent in Muslim and Christian Revelations. This paper presents a portion of a study’s result on how the fraternity spirit penetrates the religious communities in Sabah to live together in accommodative relationships and open-minded attitudes. The paper employed a qualitative approach to designing a case study in Keningau district in the interior division of Sabah. The data collection involves ethnographic fieldwork by conducting interviews with religious leaders and selected local people with mixed-faith families and participant observation in several villages related to this study. The findings indicate that the Muslims and Christians in Sabah can be characterized as brothers and sisters and inspired to be an example of fraternal friendship. These attitudes have been attributed to them: displaying respect for different religions, being committed to fostering peace, being open to differences, and being willing to coexist in proximity. Hence, the spirit of human fraternity pervades Sabah’s inter-religious landscape, which has preserved unity in diversity.

Full textAbstract:
The present study intends to look at the ways in which humour enacts modes of knowledge and self-expression in Katherine Mansfield’s short story “The Daughters of the Late Colonel” (1921). The story revolves around two spinsterly sisters who have spent most of their lives tending to their tyrannical father and now find themselves at a loss when they are finally free of him. The narrative is both sympathetic and merciless towards the sisters’ fumbling attempts at independence, but the women are often in on the joke; humour is both a “black dressing-gown” which envelops the sisters and renders them objects of ridicule, but it is also a way out, offering a subversive counterpoint to the voice of the Father, as the sisters imagine the patriarch in very comical and undignified positions, while perceiving themselves as outsiders, “creeping off…like black cats”. Though the short story has often been read in terms of hopelessness and despair by Rhoda B. Nathan and Gerri Kimber, this paper wishes to show how humour modulates and moderates this hopelessness, allowing for the two single women to assert their personality within the stifling society of their time. The ridiculous, in this case, does not need to be a death sentence, but rather a form of knowledge and resistance: the spinsters are aware of the absurdity of their condition and the futility of their place in the modern world and choose comedy over tragedy.

Thesis (MEdPsych)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is aimed at gaining insight into the experiences of siblings of an individual with an intellectual and physical disability. Attaining greater insight into their lived reality, their feelings and concerns could make it possible to provide appropriate support. The review of selected literature provides information on many aspects of the these siblings' experience. Although many studies are quantitative in their approach, the literature review provides relevant and useful findings and inferences which were used to support and substantiate findings. During this qualitative study, which is situated within an interpretive phenomenological paradigm, four participants between the ages of eight and sixteen years were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. This format of interview allowed participants to use their own words to express their personal experiences. The results showed that siblings have both positive and negative experiences when another sibling has an intellectual disability. Other common difficulties include embarrassment, guilt, and the experience of differential treatment. Positive experiences and competencies include love and acceptance, personal growth, maturity, pride in siblings accomplishments, and appreciation for one's sibling. Several experiences were congruent with those mentioned in the literature. The insights into the experiences this study provides has implications for the development and provision of sibling support programmes and interventions. At present, state group support programmes for siblings are not provided within the Western Cape area. The interventions and assistance that do exist seem to be provided by the private sector only. Support can prove very costly, which means that it is not accessible to many who require it. Sibling workshop groups could provide a valuable support alternative to a currently "unsupported" group, the siblings.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie poog om insig te verkry in die ondervindings van die broers en susters van 'n kind met intellektuele en fisiese gestremdhede. Beter insig in die realiteit van hul leefwyse, hulle gevoelens en bekommernisse kan beter ondersteuning aan hulle moontlik te maak. Die ondersoek van geselekteerde literatuur voorsien inligting rakende vele aspekte van die ondervindings van hierdie kinders. Alhoewel baie van die studies kwantitatief in hul benadering is, het die bestaande literatuur tog relevante en bruikbare bydraes en gevolgtrekkings verskaf wat gebruik kon word om bevindings te bevestig en te staaf. Hierdie kwantitatiewe studie het plaasgevind in 'n verklarende fenomenologiese paradigma en vier semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer met deelnemers tussen die ouderomme van 8 jaar en 16 jaar. Hierdie formaat van onderhoudvoering dra by dat deelnemers hulle gevoelens in hul eie woorde uitdruk. Die bevindings het gewys dat broers/susters beide positiewe en negatiewe ondervindings van kinders met 'n intellektuele gestremdheid het. Ander algemene probleme sluit in skaamte, skuldgevoelens en die gevoel van gedifferensieerde behandeling. Positiewe ondervindings en vaardighede van broers en susters sluit liefde en aanvaarding, persoonlike groei, volwassenheid, trots op die broers/suster se bekwaamheid en die waardering van so 'n broer/suster in. Verskeie van die ondervindings het ooreengestem met bevindings wat in die literatuur gevind is. Die insigte in hierdie ondervindings wat deur hierdie studie voorsien word het implikasies vir programme en intervensies wat ondersteuning aan hierdie kinders bied. Tans is daar nie sodanige staatsgefinansierde ondersteuningsprogramme in die Wes-Kaap area nie. Die intervensies en ondersteuning wat wel beskikbaar is word slegs in die privaatsektor aangebied. Ondersteuning kan baie duur wees, wat beteken dat dit vir baie kinders wat dit nodig het, ontoeganklik is. Ondersteuningsgroepwerkswinkels kan 'n waardevolle alternatief bied vir die "nieondersteunde" groep, die kinders.

Thesis (MEdPsych (Educational Psychology)--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.This study focused on South African siblings' experiences of a brother or sister with cancer. Social constructionism was used as an epistemological framework. Three in-depth interviews with siblings (ages 12 – 16 years) of pediatric cancer patients, were done. The case study approach was chosen as the most suitable method to gain the information. The thematic content analysis was the method of analysis. Participants' experiences with regard to their siblings' cancer were reconstructed according to themes. Recurring themes were elucidated and linked with the literature. The study allowed participants to express their conscious and unconscious experiences by means of verbal and non-verbal (art activities) communication. Results support the concern by previous studies about siblings' vulnerability since the diagnosis of a brother's/sister's cancer. The uniqueness of each sib's experience and the implementation of individualy-centered intervention strategies is emphasized. Educational Psychologists as well as members of the multidisciplinary team (teachers, medical and nursing staff, parents, family and peers) interested in supporting siblings of pediatric cancer patients can benefit from this study.

The lives of family members of a child with a developmental disability are typically influenced by acute as well as chronic stressful events. These families are compared to families of typically developing children. In order for a family with a child with a developmental disability to function as effectively as possible, it may be necessary to renegotiate and reassign traditional family roles of parent, spouse, brother and sister.

The purpose of this study was to examine the processes and patterns of communicative

initiate, maintain and terminate dialogs during play. Specifically, the focus was to determine if the
processes and patterns of communication differed when a deaf sibling interacted with an older
hearing sibling who has been exposed primarily to a simultaneous visual-auditory (SimVA) pattern
of communication, as compared to when a deaf sibling interacted with a younger hearing sibling
who has been exposed to both a SimVA and a sequential visual (Seq V) pattern of communication.
Video-taped playbouts were observed between each of two sibling dyads at play within a single
family: (a) an older dyad composed of a seven-year-old hearing child and her five-year-old deaf
sister, and (b) a younger dyad with the second-born deaf sister and her three-year-old hearing
brother. The video-tapes were coded to determine: the kinds of play siblings engaged in;
the use and expression of behavioral and communicative elements of attention-getting, exchange of
information, and termination processes of dialogs; who initiated and terminated dialogs; the
occurrence of turn-taking during message delivery; and the expression of patterns of
communication used by siblings during dialogs.
Only three of five possible kinds of play were actually noted, of which social play was the
most frequently observed kind of play taking place between siblings within both dyads. In the
older hearing and deaf sibling dyad, it was found that the older hearing sister predominately used
visual processes and patterns of communicative interaction when conversing with her deaf sister,
whereas the deaf sibling relied extensively on visual-auditory processes and patterns of
communication when conversing with her hearing sister. In the younger dyad, visual-auditory
patterns of communication predominated both hearing and deaf siblings' expression of processes
and patterns of communication with each other. New terminology reflecting siblings' behavioral
and communicative patterns of communication are introduced.
This study represents the first known research examining the processes and patterns of deaf
and hearing siblings' behavioral and communicative interactions of dialog. The findings are
discussed in relation to potential applications to early intervention programs for hearing families
with deaf and hearing siblings and to future research directions. Overall, the findings from this
study appear to indicate that deaf and hearing siblings communicate in ways largely influenced by
developmental maturation and the communicative environments to which each child has been
exposed during language acquisition processes. The findings are also consistent with Vygotsky's
theory of a sociocultural origin of language development.Education, Faculty of

Children heading their households are not a new phenomenon in South Africa. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been the number one cause behind the emergence of many child-headed households in sub-Saharan Africa. This qualitative research inquiry was guided by an interpretivist epistemology. Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory was used as the theoretical framework that guided this study. A case study design was used with un-structured interviews being the primary method of data collection. Participatory task-based methods in the form of metaphors and story writing, informal observations, questionnaires and field notes augmented the data generation process. Purposive sampling procedures were used and two participants were chosen for this study. Thematic analysis of data generated the themes and sub-themes which provided insight into the lives of children in the role of parents. Findings of this study reveal that orphaned and vulnerable children in the role of parents have the task of taking care of their siblings by providing food, washing their clothes, sending them to school and helping with their homework. They also have the added task of making decisions in the home and providing parental guidance to their younger siblings in the absence of their parents. Children in this study also experienced poverty and faced stigma and discrimination from relatives, peers, neighbors and members in the communityEducational Studies

Full textAbstract:
This chapter studies how, in early May of 1660, news reached Elizabeth Stuart's nephew that he had been invited to return and take his place on the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland as Charles II. Now, with a Stuart once more on the throne, there was nothing to keep Elizabeth on the Continent. And when, in September of 1660, her niece Mary had travelled home to England, preceding her, there was certainly nothing left for Elizabeth in The Hague. Elizabeth had told Charles Louis she would return when Charles sent for her. Elizabeth was plainly desperate to return to England, but still there was no invitation. The chapter then recounts Elizabeth's death. By the time of her death, aged sixty-six, Elizabeth had lost a kingdom, the Upper Palatinate, several wars, three infant sisters, three brothers (one as a baby), a husband, six children, and several palaces. She had also outlived all the ambassadors and generals who ever had supported or opposed her. But she never lost the love of her people who had so embraced her on St Valentine's Day in 1613, and would mourn the death of their Queen of Hearts the day before her forty-ninth wedding anniversary.
