Abstract
Sibling relationships are important in children's development (Edward, 2011). In today's changing society, families often include stepsiblings who are trying to find their roles in a new family system. In this article, we describe our creative approaches in counseling sessions with a sibling group from a blended family. The process of two counselors working together is described, as are three semistructured activities that are particularly appropriate for sibling groups. The case example is used throughout the article to illustrate the process of the interventions described. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
