Forty women who had had incestuous relationships with their fathers during childhood were compared with 20 women whose fathers had been seductive but not overtly incestuous. More of the women who had experienced overt incest reported that their fathers had been violent and that their mothers had been chronically ill, disabled, or battered. Untreated depression, alcoholism, or psychosis or repeated involuntary childbearing were most commonly cited as causes of impaired maternal functioning. Women who had experienced overt incest had a higher rate of running away, suicide attempts, and pregnancy during adolescence than the comparison group. The authors suggest that clinicians be alert to the possibility of incest in families which contain a violent father, a disabled mother, or an "acting-out" adolescent girl.
40名在童年时期与父亲有乱伦关系的女性与20名父亲有性引诱行为但未明显乱伦的女性进行了比较。更多经历过明显乱伦的女性报告称，她们的父亲有暴力行为，母亲长期患病、残疾或遭受殴打。未经治疗的抑郁症、酗酒、精神病或反复意外生育是导致母亲功能受损的最常见原因。与对照组相比，经历过明显乱伦的女性在青春期离家出走、自杀未遂和怀孕的发生率更高。作者建议临床医生警惕在有暴力父亲、残疾母亲或“行为不检”的青春期女孩的家庭中存在乱伦的可能性。
