OverviewThis collection of contributions from experts in the field attempts to consolidate findings that bear upon the clinical presentations of adult patients who have suffered childhood incestuous exploitation. Although there are many accounts of incest now available from the lay literature, there is relatively little information in psychiatric reference available about how the impact of incest can be minimized, discounted or denied, or appear to play such a peripheral role in a clinical situation that its importance remains unrecognized. This book explores the connections between incest and somatoform disorders, disturbances of the self, problems in cognitive functioning, borderline psychopathology, the dissociative disorders, post-traumatic syndromes, vulnerability to revictimization and other crucial issues.

Discussion."ReviewsI strongly recommend this book to clinicians and physicians as well as other professionals who are seeking an in-depth understanding of the clinical presentation of female adult incest survivors. -- Resource Reviews, Gregory J. Murrey, MS, Department of Psychology, Washington State University This is a disciplined and passionate book about a grubby little subject that nobody likes. Maybe it was okay to nod tolerantly and dismiss incest when we were taught that it 'happened' in fewer than one in a million families. But there is no taboo against incest--there is only a taboo against talking about it.... The editor, Richard P. Kluft, has devoted his career to the study and treatment of those among us who have been the most damaged by actual psychic trauma. Around him has been assembled a group of talented and dedicated clinicians/scientists whose work now requires us to look for evidence of incest with an urgency directly in proportion to the amount of chaos in our cases. -- Donald L.
