abstract="This paper examines the epidemiologic, psychologic, and clinical aspects of incest, and emphasizes the need for action by physicians. The apparent increase in the incidence of this emotionally damaging experience makes it essential for the physician to understand the dynamics of incest, individually and in the family, so as to be prepared to meet the needs of the patient and the community. This paper stresses the responsibility of the physician in the intervention of the immediate trauma and in the prevention of its continuation or recurrence. Ways in which the physician, because of his close contact with the family, may fill this role are discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
