Did you have a parent whose love for you felt more confining then freeing, more demanding than giving, more intrusuve than nuturing? Did you feel trapped in a 'psychological marriage' with this parent? If so, you may be a victim of covert incest. Identification of this kind of incest is difficult, since covert incest victims often feel idealized and priviledged, not violated and abused. In this book, Dr. Adams, through illustrative case examples and perspective insight, provides covert incest victims with a framework to understandwhat happened to them, how their lives and relationships continue to be affected and how to begin the process of recovery. 118 pages, paperback.
