Analysis of the Incest Trauma

<p>Childhood sexual abuse within the family of origin and society's institutions such as the church education sports and the world of celebrity has been neglected as a significant issue by psychoanalysis and society. The incest trauma needs to be understood as one of the most significant problems of contemporary society. This book is an attempt to re-establish incest trauma as a significant psychological disorder by tracing the evolutionary trajectory of psychoanalysis from the Seduction Theory to the Oedipal Therapy to the Confusion of Tongues Theory. By examining the theoretical emotional interpersonal and political issues involved in Freud's abandoning the Seduction Hypothesis and replacing it with the Oedipal Complex we can see how system building became more important than the emotional welfare of children. In a series of chapters the authors demonstrate this neglect of the incest trauma. </p>
