The siblings mind

Cosmo Education

About
In this episode of Cosmo Education, we delve into “The Importance of Being Siblings” by Rodolfo de Bernart, Maurizio Ferrara, and Stefania Pecchioli. We explore how, in systemic therapy, the sibling subsystem can become a powerful engine of transformation when the parental axis is fragile or blocked. Through clinical cases and theoretical insights, we examine the transformative potential of sibling relationships—horizontal spaces of affection, rivalry, shared memory, and negotiation. This episode offers a fresh perspective on family therapy, highlighting the creation of the “sibling mind” as a therapeutic and emotional resource.
