Father-Daughter Incest (with a new Afterword)

The book "Trauma and Recovery" by Judith Herman is a groundbreaking work that sheds light on the complexities of incestuous families and their long-lasting effects on survivors.

Through an in-depth clinical study of 40 incest victims, Herman provides a comprehensive understanding of the psychological dynamics at play within these families.

Her work challenges the backlash movement against incest survivors, offering practical and helpful suggestions for approaching such families, protecting victims, and prosecuting or treating perpetrators.

The book also delves into the countertransference feelings in male and female therapists that may interfere with treatment.

With its graceful writing style and thorough review of relevant literature, "Trauma and Recovery" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of incestuous families and their aftermath.
