title: The separation-individuation process in adult twins.
abstract: While societal myths popularize the notion that twins are happy in their twinship, in reality there is a great deal of ambivalance. Characteristic psychological disturbances occur when twins who function as one unit separate in adulthood. Short-term aand long-term problems are discussed, as well as strategies for intervention and prevention.
