Dr. Friedman is the author of Emotionally Healthy Twins, a pioneering book that discusses the importance of how to raise twins to lead full and happy lives.
Not only is Dr. Friedman a practicing pychotherapist, she is also a twin and has twins herself. Drawing on her unique experience, Dr. Friedman outlines seven key concepts for helping twins develop into self-realized, unique individuals and offers parents specific strategies for each stage in their children’s growth covering young and older twins. She also offers suggestions for fathers of twins and explains how fathering twins is different from fathering a singleton.
