"This book was difficult to read because I know someone that has been through this situation, but it also helped me to understand some of her actions and why she had some of the psychological reactions she did. When you know someone that has been through this situation, that makes this book difficult to read, but it will help you to understand. It is also a book that, from a clinical perspective, would likely help someone that works with clientele that have experienced this type of abuse, which is sadly the most common type of sexual abuse that is perpetrated upon women."
"this book was difficult to read due to nature of the subject. however, if you can get past that you learn a lot about the typical family structure that incest occurs in, characteristics of the father and the mother if she is present, and typical characteristics that children who are being sexually abused will display.
the book describes how to respond to news of incest. Herman firmly believes that the father should be removed from the family rather than the daughter and talks about the importance of maintaining normalcy for the daughter, re-establishing a stronger mother-daughter bond if possible, and in very specific and well monitored situations re-incorporating the father back into the family."
