Through an intensive clinical study of forty incest victims and
numerous interviews with professionals in mental health, child
protection, and law enforcement, Judith Herman develops a composite
picture of the incestuous family. In a new afterword, Herman offers
a lucid and thorough overview of the knowledge that has developed
about incest and other forms of sexual abuse since this book was
first published.
Reviewing the extensive research literature that demonstrates
the validity of incest survivors' sometimes repressed and recovered
memories, she convincingly challenges the rhetoric and methods of
the backlash movement against incest survivors, and the concerted
attempt to deny the events they find the courage to describe.
