In recent years, memories and reconstructions of incestuous child
abuse have become common features of psychoanalytic treatment.
Among some clinicians, such abuse is suspected even when there is
little evidence. How does the analyst distinguish between incest
real and imagined, and how do recovered memories of incest affect
the analyst? In this poignant and beautifully written study, Elaine
Siegel brings new insights to bear on these timely questions. An
inveterate note taker, she discloses the countertransferential
ruminations and associations to the occurrence of incest at various
stages during the treatment process over the course of 30 years of
clinical work. The manner in which her "analytic instrument"
evolved and was shaped by her analysands' stories makes for a
fascinating subtext in a book that addresses itself to the
differences and similarities during treatment of real and imagined
incestuous abuse. Among the powrfully disturbing clinical cases at
the heart of this study are two reports detailing the lengthy
analyses of women who found corroboration for multigenerational
incest. Siegel also presents two cases in which patients retracted
their claims of incest toward the end of their treatments. Through
the medium of these and other reports, Siegel explores how
psychoanalysts are struggling both to understand incestuous abuse
and to accomodate their treatment techniques to shifting societal
perspectives.
