Abstract

In families where incestuous abuse has occurred, family members' stories about their interaction may conceal continuing abusive patterns. Videotape feedback enables the therapist and family members to notice and work with discrepancies between actual inscssion behaviors and family members' descriptions and beliefs about these. We review the literature on videotape feedback as a therapeutic intervention and describe its application with families with abusive interaction patterns. Transcripted segments of treatment with a family in which videotape feedback was employed to intervene in an abusive in-session sequence connected to the problem of incest are presented. We briefly discuss the implications of this type of intervention, including its incompatibility with constructivist therapy models.
