Similarities and differences between incestuous and nonincestuous rape in a French follow-up study
Résumé :Clinicians are familiar with the life and psychological difficulties of incest victims, but their observations often are refuted as being retrospective and unsystematic. We aimed to ascertain similarities and differences between incestuous rape and non‐incestuous rape. One hundred and two victims consulting a French forensic center were interviewed in a systematic follow‐up study over 6 months using structured interview schedules. Stepwise logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, and characteristics of the trauma showed that posttraumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorders, agoraphobia, and low self‐esteem were overrepresented in the incest‐rape group compared to the nonincest‐rape group.
