TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Clinical management of father-daughter incest. A critical reexamination JO - American journal of diseases of children (1960) A1 - Penick, E. C. A1 - Powell, B. J. A1 - Weitzel, W. D. SP - 127 EP - 130 VL - 132 IS - 2 N2 - The professional literature relevant to child incest cases is reviewed. Four questions related to clinical management are examined. Although physical separation of the offending parent and child is typically recommended, there is insufficient evidence to support the belief that an incestuous relationship per se is inevitably harmful to the mental health of the child. It is suggested that exclusive focus on the sexual relationship can sometimes prevent the clinician from providing maximum assistance to the child and family. A representative case history is discussed.
