Barbara Klein (born December 7, 1945) is an American author, researcher and educational consultant who specialises in twin attachment and development. Klein's field of research also includes, genetics and the environment (see also, nature versus nurture), parenting, intellectual giftedness in children and counselling and therapeutic psychology.

Klein is recognised for her research in twins, informing and giving guidance to parents navigating their children's development. Klein's most recent book New Understandings of Twin Relationships: From Harmony to Estrangement and Loneliness, co-authored with Stephen A. Hart and Jacqueline M. Martinez, was published in December 2020. [citation needed]

Education

edit

Klein achieved a Masters of Education and Doctorate in Education in Early Childhood Education from the University of Southern California. Her doctorate thesis entitled 'Similarities and Differences between Six-Year-Old Identical and Fraternal Twins and Their Parents on Measures of Locus of Control and Moral Development' was originally submitted in June 1982 and published in 1987. [1] [2] Klein also earned a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California Graduate Institute in Los Angeles, and as a postdoctoral fellow Klein (known then as Barbara Schave) conducted research on the bond between twins, alongside Janet Ciriello. [3] [4]

Career

edit

Klein, known then by her marital surname Schave, began working as a psychological assistant in late 1986. [5] Klein's supervisor was Douglas Jay Schave, M.D. who was practicing as a private psychiatrist, since 1975, in Los Angeles, California. Klein and Schave married in 1986. In March 2001, Klein was the subject of disciplinary action accused of gross negligence. As explained in the State of California's Board of Psychology (Department of Consumer Affairs) accusation document, Klein "falsely referred to herself as a licensed clinical psychologist" in a particular patient's case. [6] The Board also write that Klein "received referrals and treated patients without her supervisor's knowledge" and that there was a conflict of interest because Schave should not have been supervising Klein after they were married. [6] As a result of this action, Klein agreed to have her registered licence as a psychological assistant surrendered effective February 16th 2003. [7]

Klein currently works as a private consultant in the field of education, particularly related to twins and development. She is a regular contributing writer to the psychological magazine Psychology Today. [8] Klein is on the advisory board for The Knox School of Santa Barbara and provides IQ Testing and evaluations as part of the admissions process for the school. [9] [10]

Writing

edit

1980s

edit

Klein's (then known as Barbara Schave) first book was co-authored with Janet Ciriello in 1983. 'Identity and Intimacy in Twins' reviewed research on the child development and psychoanalysis of twins, and also gathered first-hand accounts of adult twins. Cirello and Klein aimed that the book might help mental health professionals to better understand twins as clients. From their study, the authors found that twins have six distinct bonding patterns, and Klein explained in a 1984 interview with The Los Angeles Times that a competitive identity bond was the healthiest type because "competitive twins aren't hostile (toward each other), but they want to have their own 'space' and boundaries." [3] [11] To discuss their findings, Ciriello and Klein appeared on an episode of KPIX's People Are Talking on 2 December 1983. [12]

In 1984, Curriculum Design: A Handbook for Educators was published written by Kathleen M. Wulf and Barbara Schave (Klein). [13] The book intended to be a practical guide for instructional planning for educators including: selecting content, goals and objectives, and generating and organising appropriate learning opportunities. Klein (as Schave) co-authored another educational and teaching book in 1985, with John D. McNeil called Issues in School Reform: A View from the Bottom-up. [14]

Early Adolescence and the Search for Self: A Developmental Perspective published in 1989 was co-authored by Klein (as Schave) and Douglas Schave. [15] The book explores development of children to adolescence, focusing on emotional awareness, the parental role in self-development, and the idea that adolescence could be considered as a distinct psychological period. In a 1990 review of the book for The International Review of Psycho-Analysis, Robert Gluckman writes "what makes the book particularly interesting is its uniqueness in dividing adolescence into just two stages, early adolescence and adolescence proper." [16]

Klein was born on 7 December, 1945 in Los Angeles, California. She has an older brother, Alan Klein, and an identical twin sister, Marjorie. The family resided in Los Angeles, and Klein and her siblings attended Rosewood Avenue Elementary School in West Hollywood. Klein has written about her brother, Alan, being a gifted child and attending special classes at the school, as a result. [citation needed]. Klein's twin sister, Marjorie Ford, is an author and former lecturer at Stanford University from 1986 to 2012, including the Program in Writing and Rhetoric. [17] A notable publication by Ford is Dreams and Inward Journeys: A Rhetoric and Reader for Writers (1990). [18]

Klein married author and psychologist Douglas Schave [19] in 1986 and together they co-authored the book Early Adolescence and the Search for Self: A Developmental Perspective in 1989. [20] They divorced in 1994 and have two children together, Richard and Elizabeth.
