Description: "Mother-Daughter Incest: A Guide for Helping Professionals illuminates the rarely examined phenomenon and aftermath of mother-daughter incest, focusing on the victim's perception of and reaction to her experience. This unique book integrates psychological theory and practical interventions with the words of the survivors themselves. Their revealing and moving first-person testimony articulates daughters' reactions to sexual abuse at the hands of their mothers, their past and present relationships with their mothers, and their perceptions of the impact of their mothers' abuse on their lives."--BOOK JACKET.
