Cognitive and affective empathy among adolescent siblings of children with a physical disability

In this letter I would like to respond on some remarks formulated by dr. Wolfgang Lindemann and his colleagues. First of all, I have to thank them for their interest related to the topic of my article on adolescent siblings of children with a physical disability. In my opinion, these specific members of family system have been neglected in research despite the fact that siblings play an important role in the lives of all people throughout life-span. As it is widely known, research literature is related mostly to a negative aspects of being a sibling of children with disability.
