Studies the problems, causes, and consequences of incest in light of increased sexual permissiveness, drawing attention to treatment and prevention within the family and on public and professional levels
SLOMLJENI TABU Proučava probleme, uzroke i posledice incesta u svetlu povećane seksualne permisivnosti, skrećući pažnju na lečenje i prevenciju u porodici i na javnom i profesionalnom nivou

This sensible and informative book deals with two taboos. One is that against incest itself; the other is the more subtle taboo against honest discussion and serious consideration of a problem that is on the increase today.

Based on the authors` own study of over one hundred actual cases of incest, plus thorough research of the literature on the subject, The Broken Taboo examines what incest is, who commits it, why it occurs, what the consequences are and what can be done about the problem.

The authors reveal the typical personality structures of the kinds of parents most likely to commit incest; the reactions of the children and the short and long-term effects on them; the reasons for the current increase in the incidence of incest; warning signs that incest may occur and signals from children that it is occurring; what can be done to help individuals and family groups confronted with the problem and what can be done, by individual families and by society, to prevent it.

Dispelling dangerous myths while frankly confronting disturbing realities, The Broken Taboo illuminates an area of family life that is too often shrouded in silence and disgrace.

Dr Blair Justice is Professor of Social Psychology at the University of Texas Health Science Centre. Dr Rita Justice practices at the Southwestern Institute for Group and Family Therapy. Their previous work, The Abusing Family, has been hailed as a breakthrough in the diagnosis and treatment of child abuse.
