Abstract
A sample of 71 twin pairs (32 MZ, 39 DZ),
of mean age 9.7 years, has been studied through
various techniques in order to better
understanding the interpersonal relation of twins,
both within the pair and with respect to the
members of the family group, and especially the
mother. Zygosity, dominance, and birth order have
been taken into account. The relation between MZ
twins appears to be somehow less special than
believed, whereas a special triadic relation
appears to exist with the mother. A differentiated
research of identity in MZs and autonomy in DZs is
also noted (which contributes to a better
understanding of problems of schizophrenia in
twins). Finally, the relation between MZ cotwins
shows mutual similarity and attachment to be lower
than foreseen and, anyhow, of a far from
misterious nature.
