My Sister: The Key and Obstacle to My Feeling Better - 2006.

The relationship between sisters is a complex one and often, in families where, for different reasons, the parents could have a containment function for their children, siblings form a relationship based on a mutual help that alternates with the usual competition. Nevertheless, these bonds allow the children to heal and can sometimes persist and lock the adults in a relation of mutual dependence which paralyzes them. We are going to show two instances of a possible therapy between sisters, one of which is still ongoing. We will try to explain how the situation has developed and explore the meaning of the bond between them.
