Incest, Work, and Women

Booknews

Based on interviews with 100 women, half of whom were incest survivors and half of whom were not, this study analyses how the experience of incest affects work and career difficulties in later life and discusses strategies to overcome those difficulties. Topics include the formation of a victimized and traumatized self; the influence of the family; six major work trends; on-the-job difficulties; and incest survivor's myths and fears about work, careers, and success.
