This study explored the dynamics of father-daughter incestuous families, physically abusive families, and non-abusive families. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether the following four theories were uniquely descriptive of incestuous families or more descriptive of overtly (physically and sexually abusive) families. The four theories under question are: role reversal between parents and children; closed and isolated family systems; literal or metaphorical absence of mother; and patriarchal family structure. This study controlled for several of the more common methodological flaws in previously published studies in an effort to further clarify the similarities and differences between incestuous and physically abusive families. Subjects for this study were recruited from community mental health agencies, private practitioners, and newspaper advertisements. One hundred and five women who were over the age of 18 and in their first year of psychotherapy participated in this study by completing the Family Environment Scale, Colorado Self-Report Measure of Family Functioning, and Temple Family Inventory. Several one-way analyses of variance and chi square analyses were conducted to determine whether these four theories were useful in discriminating between sexually abusive, physically abusive, and non-abusive families. The results of this study suggest that sexually abusive families were not different from both physically abusive and non-abusive families on any of the dimensions under review. From these results, it appears that these four descriptive theories are equally as applicable to physically abusive families as they are to incestuous families. The findings of this study support the importance of accounting for other forms of overt abuse when exploring the dynamics and structure of sexually abusive families. This study has practical implications for clinical practice. The results of this study may be useful for early detection and therapeutic intervention with families-at-risk for sexual and/or physical abuse in an effort to decrease the negative effects of the trauma of abuse and unhealthy family dynamics. Fine-tuning the current theories through research and clinical practice so that they more accurately represent the functioning of incestuous families will enhance both preventative measures and therapeutic interventions.Subjects--Topical Terms:
