Incest in childhood and adolescence: long-term effects and therapy. 1988

D J West
University of Cambridge.

Concern about sexual contacts between children and adults in their homes focuses on the more extreme examples, but cases vary in seriousness, in the family situations in which they occur and in the effects on the children. Discrimination is called for in assessment and management and in balancing the interests of victims against the demands of justice.
