TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Incest in psychiatric practice: a description of patients and incestuous relationships JO - Journal of clinical psychiatry A1 - Westermeyer, J. SP - 643 EP - 648 VL - 39 IS - 8 N2 - Patients reporting incest resembled the author's other patients in age, sex marital status, education, residence and social class. Both initiating and receptive partners were represented among these patients. In two-thirds of 32 patients, incest had occurred more than 1 year previously. No one clinical picture predominated. Thirty-two patients had been involved in 42 incestuous relationships. Initiating partners, always older, included 32 men and 10 women. Coitus was the most frequent sexual activity; homosexual relations were present in 4 instances. Adults initiating incest had usually lost access to adult sexual partners by death, divorce, illness, or marital partners' refusal to cohabit.
