Identical Twins explores the unique status of twinship and how it can affect personal and familial relationships with siblings, romantic partners, and friends. Drawing from the rich qualitative data from over one hundred interviews, Joleen Loucks Greenwood shares the benefits and challenges associated with the experience of being an identical twin and discusses ways in which all social relationships are positively and negatively impacted by this dynamic. This book is a must-read for family scholars, such as family sociologists who study family and sibling relationships as well as psychologists who focus on personal and social relationships, as well as anyone interested in the study of identical twins.
