Download or read book The Twin Enigma written by Vivienne Lewin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a unique in-depth understanding of the twin relationship, and the way in which twin development is affected by our attitudes to twins and our enduring fascination with them. It explores our historical fascination with this subject and the origins of this excitement, how our perceptions of twins reflect our own longing for a perfect soul-mate, and the effect this personal projection has on the development in twins. It is a book written with the general reader in mind rather than "experts". Twins share a deep psychic bond that forms the core of their twinship, but they are never identical. Many factors will affect their development, including the early mutual resonances and sensate experiences between them, and parental and societal attitudes in raising them.
Download or read book Twins written by William Viney and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human twins have many meanings and different histories. They have been seen as gods and monsters, signs of danger, death, and sexual deviance. They are taken as objects of wonder and violent repression, the subjects of scientific experiment. Now millions are born through fertility technologies. Their history is often buried in philosophies and medical theories, religious and scientific practices, and countless stories of devotion and tragedy. In this history of superstitions and marvels, fantasies and experiments, William Viney—himself a twin—shows how the use and abuse of twins has helped to shape the world in which we live. This book has been written not just for twins, but for anyone interested in their historical, global, and political impact.

Download or read book Vanishing Twins written by Leah Dieterich and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Dieterich's] writing is crisp and intelligent . . . She writes about her own reckoning with her sexuality and exploration of queer identity without becoming pat or coy, giving readers intimate access to her fears and conflicting emotions." --NPR For as long as she can remember, Leah has had the mysterious feeling that she’s been searching for a twin--that she should be part of an intimate pair. It begins with dance partners as she studies ballet growing up; continues with her attractions to girlfriends in college; and leads her, finally, to Eric, whom she moves across the country for and marries. But her steadfast, monogamous relationship leaves her with questions about her sexuality and her identity, so she and her husband decide to try an open marriage. How does a young couple make room for their individual desires, their evolving selfhoods, and their artistic ambitions while building a life together? Can they pursue other sexual partners, even live in separate cities, and keep their original passionate bond alive? Vanishing Twins looks for answers in psychology, science, pop culture, art, architecture, Greek mythology, dance, and language to create a lucid, suspenseful portrait of a woman testing the limits and fluidities of love.

Download or read book Twins Talk written by Dona Lee Davis and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twins Talk is an ethnographic study of identical twins in the United States, a study unique in that it considers what twins have to say about themselves, instead of what researchers have written about them. It presents, in the first person, the grounded and practical experiences of twins as they engage, both individually and together, the “who am I” and “who are we” questions of life. Here, the twins themselves are the stars. Dona Lee Davis conducted conversational interviews with twenty-two sets of identical twins attending the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, the largest such gathering in the world. Lively and often opinionated, each twin comes through as a whole person who at the same time maintains a special bond that the vast majority of people will never experience. The study provides a distinctive and enlightening insider’s challenge to the nature/nurture debates that dominate contemporary research on twins. The author, herself an identical twin, draws on aspects of her own life to inform her analysis of the data throughout the text. Each chapter addresses a different theme from multiple viewpoints, including those of popular science writers, scientific researchers, and singletons, as well as those of the twins themselves.
Book Synopsis Is Autistic Spectrum Disorder Genetic? Exploring the Arguments by : Sanum Ghafoor
Download or read book Is Autistic Spectrum Disorder Genetic? Exploring the Arguments written by Sanum Ghafoor and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Health Science, grade: B, Brunel University, language: English, abstract: Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders, characterised by varying degrees of social, imaginative and communicative deficits. ASD includes autism, pervasive developmental disorder, Rett’s disorder and childhood disintegrative disorder. Some argue that ASD is genetic, with de novo mutations, copy number variations and chromosomal abnormalities, influencing an ASD individual’s behaviour. Others argue it may be caused by the environment and specific experiences, such as maternal stress during postpartum and prenatal development, may be the underlying cause. This essay will explore these arguments, looking at twin studies, at broader phenotype and at prenatal/postpartum development, specifically in relational to maternal stress. It will conclude that ASD is not solely genetic, but can also be influenced by environmental factors.

Book Synopsis Not All Twins Are Alike by : Barbara Klein
Download or read book Not All Twins Are Alike written by Barbara Klein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-02-28 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even twins are unique. Most people idealize twins, fantasizing a close, perpetually loving relationship. Yet Klein, herself an identical twin, demonstrates that twins have complicated and intense relationships that range from over-identification or excessive closeness to profound estrangement and conflict. Most twins who are raised as individuals deal with the significant emotional pain of separation in adolescence or young adulthood, yet as mature adults can come to love and respect each other as individuals. As Klein makes clear, the parenting that twins receive as infants and young children affects the relationships that they have with one another and with the world they choose to function in. Because parenting is a critical determinant of psychological well-being, it should be treated as a serious but manageable challenge. This book is a must-read for twins, their parents, and scholars, students, and other researchers and professionals dealing with mental health and child development.
