Omschrijving
The loss of a child within a family and its impact on the family system is often carried in
silence; unseen, unresolved, and rarely spoken about. This loss may follow miscarriage,
stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome (cot death), or the early death of a (twin) brother
or sister.
The child who is born immediately after the deceased child is unconsciously given an
impossible task: to meet their parents' unmet needs in the wake of their grief.
This book offers a revealing insight into the lives of people who grew up in this unique
position: Elvis Children. The term is inspired by the formative life story of Elvis Presley,
whose twin brother died at birth. Elvis is said to have felt compelled to live for two, as a
"replacement child", a burden that accompanied him throughout his life.
Grounded in a contextual therapy approach, the book explores the risk factors faced
by both young and adult Elvis Children. First-hand accounts illuminate these dynamics
and offer recognition to Elvis Children and their parents alike. Alongside theory and
practice examples, it provides clear, practical guidance for professionals working with
Elvis Children in healthcare and education.
