Incest is a social problem of major proportions affecting the lives of one in six American women. This collection of contributions from the most distinguished experts in the field examines the clinical presentations of adult patients who have suffered childhood incestuous experiences. This book explores the connections between incest and
• somatoform disorders
• disturbances of the self
• problems in cognitive functioning
• borderline psychopathology
• the dissociative disorders
• posttraumatic symptoms
• vulnerability to revictimization
I 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.
