.... resulting in twins being so dependent upon each other that, in some cases, they cannot fall in love or marry (Mathias, 1992). It is important, therefore, to encourage individuality in, and a healthy relationship between, each twin from birth so that they will not experience individualisation problems (Siemon, 1980).
