Incest is a universal taboo found throughout history and within
myths from all societies. It has been a neglected subject by
psychoanalysis in recent years and this volume aims, successfully,
to promote confrontation between the past and present and to
provide a clinical and theoretical reflection on the subject. Here
incest is distinct from sexual abuse outside of the family nucleus.
The book, inspired by the COWAP European Conference of 2003, looks
at themes such as gender identity, perversions and incest.
Containing papers from leading experts in the field, it includes
the papers delivered at the conference plus two papers from Mariam
Alizade and Brendan MacCarthy, who both present an account of the
discussions as they developed during the conference. The collection
deals with a number of issues that surround incest, including
Freud's work and how his outlook changed throughout the years, the
post-Freudian theories, treatment of both offender and victim
through traditional one-on-one and group therapy, the importance of
the sex of the analyst, the permeations of the abuser/abused, and
the "why" of incest. As well as addressing theory, the papers
include moving and at times disturbing clinical vignettes to
provide an insight into clinical practice.This is a book for
trainee and professional psychoanalysts, social workers,
counsellors, community police officers, and any other professionals
whose work brings them into contact with this distressing subject.
