Transformation: From Twin to Individual
Magagna, Jeanne
Journal of Child Psychotherapy, v33 n1 p51-69 Apr 2007
This article explores some of the complexities of psychotherapy with an identical twin. The difficulty of developing in psychotherapy while so much of what is oneself is located in the other twin will also be explored. The use of the countertransference as a therapeutic method will be considered as the young person develops her unique, separate identity.
