Synopses & Reviews
Did you have a parent whose love for you felt more
confining than
freeing, more
demanding than
giving, more
instrusive than
nurturing? Did you feel trapped in a "psychological marriage" with this parent? If so, you may be a victim of covert incest.
Identification of this kind of incest is difficult, since covert incest victimrs often feel idealized and privileged, not violated and abused. In Silently Seduced, Dr. Adams, through illustrative case examples and perceptive insight, provides covert incest victims a framework to understand what happened to them, how their lives and relationships continue to be affected and how to begin the process of recovery.
