Abstract
Much of the current theory of incest and approaches to treatment ignore the impact of a patriarchal society and culture in promoting and encouraging incestuous assault. The author examines sexist assumptions about the roles of family members, on which basis the mother—instead of the actual offender—is usually blamed for the assault. He presents an analysis of incest that seeks to help professionals empower the victims of male violence.Keywords
