Abstract
The difficulties facing clinicians trying to assess whether a patient''s report of incest is fantasy or reality were examined. The role of sexualized family interactions, the age of the child, the nature of the act and the quality of the reports were discussed as relevant variables. Cases were used to illustrate various points. Questions [8] in the clinician should review before making any judgments about a report of incest being reality, especially when legal procedures are involved are presented.
