Phelan, Patricia

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v19 n1 p7-24 Jan 1995

Interviews with 40 fathers and stepfathers and 44 biologic daughters and stepdaughters involved in incestuous activity revealed their recollection of events, their thoughts, and interpretations. Fathers' thoughts were dominated by themes of sexual gratification, control, power, anger, and rights and responsibilities; daughters reported disbelief, confusion, guilt, and anger. (Author/JDD)
