Abstract
While societal myths popularize the notion that twins are happy in their twinship, in reality there is a great deal of ambivalence. Characteristic psychological disturbances occur when twins who function as one unit separate in adulthood. Short-term and long-term problems are discussed, as well as strategies for intervention and prevention.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
