ABSTRACT

It is now twenty years since I first spoke out on the issue of incest, with the book Kiss Daddy Goodnight (Armstrong 1978). Today that issue is all but buried under the rubble from a bombardment of rhetoric about False Memory Syndrome and its siblings, False Accusation Syndrome, and Parental Alienation Syndrome. The subject of incest has become entertainment. The topic of incest has become a selling point. But the issue of incest, the feminist political analysis, has all but disappeared.
