The professional literature relevant to child incest cases is reviewed. Four questions related to clinical management are examined. Although physical separation of the offending parent and child is typically recommended, there is insufficient evidence to support the belief that an incestuous relationship per se is inevitably harmful to the mental health of the child. It is suggested that exclusive focus on the sexual relationship can sometimes prevent the clinician from providing maximum assistance to the child and family. A representative case history is discussed.
本文回顾了与儿童乱伦案件相关的专业文献。研究了四个与临床管理相关的问题。虽然通常建议将犯罪的父母与孩子进行身体上的分离,但没有足够的证据支持这样一种观点,即乱伦关系本身必然会对孩子的心理健康造成伤害。有人认为,仅仅关注性关系有时会妨碍临床医生为孩子和家庭提供最大程度的帮助。文中讨论了一个具有代表性的病例。
