title: The incest cycle across generations.
abstract: Using the theories of Murray Bowen and the teachings of Joseph Campbell, the author presents a clinical case to demonstrate how generations of sexual abuse led to anxiety symptoms in the offspring. Methods used to obtain and interpret the multigenerational family genogram, and the significance of family myths in sustaining dysfunctional patterns, are reviewed.
