Abstract
The paper describes the changes in family dynamics that occur throughout the process of family‐orientated treatment of families where father–daughter incest or stepfatherr–stepdaughter child sexual abuse has occurred. A detailed step‐by‐step analysis of the developing family process in incest families during therapy is given. The analysis establishes the nature of the original pattern of family relationships, explores the impact made by crisis intervention on the family structure and then outlines therapy and termination of treatment. Characteristic mechanisms in the family process during therapy are described. A detailed clinical example demonstrates the basic therapeutic moves and the mechanisms involved.
