title: Emotional characteristics of chronic and acute incestuous daughters.
abstract: Incest can have a devastating effect on the emotional stability of the victim both in childhood and in adulthood. The present research was conducted to determine: (1) emotional variables associated with chronic and acute incestuous daughters, and (2) a comparison of the similarities and/or differences of each. Results suggested ten different variables of importance in father-daughter incest, however, there were significant differences regarding which of these tended to be associated more with either the chronic or acute incestuous daughters.
