title: Disrupted lives: siblings of disturbed adolescents.
abstract: The impact of disturbed adolescents on siblings' psychological adjustment and sibling relationships was examined. Compared to siblings of nondisturbed adolescents, siblings of previously hospitalized adolescents reported more psychological distress, poorer social relationships, a more negative view of their older brothers and sisters, and less identification with their older siblings.
