[Incest, when mothers fail to protect their children].

Abstract

In a context where incest is cited more and more often (testimonies, publications, books, reports), it is not always well understood in all its complexity. This article looks at a very specific dimension, namely the place of mothers in incest situations. We'll take a look at the clinical aspects of incest, the dynamics of the mother's role, and the key points to be aware of when dealing with child victims.
