Silently Seduced

Did you have a parent whose love for you felt more **confining** than **freeing** , more **demanding** than **giving** , more **instrusive** than **nurturing**? Did you feel trapped in a "psychological marriage" with this parent? If so, you may be a victim of covert incest. Identification of this kind of incest is difficult, since covert incest victimrs often feel idealized and privileged, not violated and abused. In *Silently Seduced* , Dr. Adams, through illustrative case examples and perceptive insight, provides covert incest victims a framework to understand what happened to them, how their lives and relationships continue to be affected and how to begin the process of recovery.
