ABSTRACT
It is self-evident that ongoing incestuous abuse is both a psychosocial stressor and a result of psychosocial stress. Few family problems cause as much disruption and negative consequences for all as intrafamily child sexual abuse. While sex can be one of the closest ways people bond with one another, within a family it can result in chaos. Parent-child sexuality is one of the only universal taboos among world cultures, indicating that there is something inherent in the family relationship which can be devastated by the sexual crossing of generational boundaries.
