Abstract
In recent years it has become apparent that father-daughter incest is not an uncommon occurrence. Many social forces have conspired to maintain secrecy at both the family and societal levels. The authors examine the evolution of professional attitudes and understandings of incest, beginning with Freud's writings on the subject, and offer specific recommendations for clinicians working with incest victims and their families.Keywords
