Description
Silently Seduced: A Guide to Understanding and Healing from Covert Incestuous Relationships. This revised edition of Dr. Kenneth Adams' groundbreaking work offers tools for identifying and healing from covert incestuous relationships that affect adult lives. Dr. Adams explains how 'feeling close' with a parent may not always be the source of comfort it seems, especially when childhood is compromised by being a surrogate partner. The book includes new insights into issues such as the nature of covert incest, its impact on intimacy and relationships, and strategies for recovery. A Q&A section addresses common concerns, including how to recognize and address these complex dynamics in oneself or others. With expanded discussions on 'engulfment,' 'excessive guilt,' 'loyalty,' and 'narcissism,' Silently Seduced provides a framework for understanding covert incest and its effects on relationships, facilitating the process of recovery.
