abstract="This article takes a psychoanalytic perspective on incest and child sexual abuse. It concentrates on what could be called &quot;the loss of the sense of reality&quot; that is experienced by the victim of incest. The position in which a child of five is placed when she is sexually abused by her father is considered; this is followed by detailed material from the analysis of a woman who had an incestuous relationship with her brother. Transference and counter-transference difficulties that arise in work with abused patients are explored. A theoretical explanation of the damaging effects of an incestuous relationship is outlined.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
