Incest - A Family Pattern

In the early 1980s incest was ceasing to be a taboo subject. First published in 1982, the author had travelled around the USA, where considerable attention had been paid to incest in the previous few years, meeting professionals and - more important - victims and abusers themselves. This is a work of general as well as specialist interest.
