The effects of childhood incest
It has become increasingly clear that a host of problems can be related to the experiences surrounding incest. These symptoms include:
- low self-esteem;
- anxiety disorders and chronic depression;
- eating disorders;
- drug and alcohol abuse;
- abusive marital relationships
- Incestuous relations in the family of creation.
The most common problems brought into therapy by survivors fall into four areas: interpersonal relationships; thinking problems; being able to control one’s emotions; and mystery physical. While survivors do not have to present with serious psychopathology in all four areas, they often will fall on a continuum of moderate to high dysfunction in all categories.
