Father Daughter Incest by Judith Lewis Herman
A clinical and sociocultural examination of the dynamics, consequences, and aftermath of sexual abuse by fathers, exploring how power, secrecy, and family denial enable the abuse and compound survivors’ trauma; it describes the psychological effects on daughters—shame, fragmented identity, trust and intimacy problems, and symptoms akin to post-traumatic stress—and discusses therapeutic approaches and social responses needed to acknowledge harm, restore safety, and support recovery.
