In this revised and updated 20th anniversary edition, Dr. Kenneth Adams, a leading expert on covert incest, sex addiction, and childhood trauma, offers tools for identifying and healing from covert incestuous relationships that affect adult relationships and lives. Dr. Adams includes a new Q&A section that directly addresses issues including incestuous relationships with no physical sexual contact, sex addiction among covert incest survivors, and advice for partners of covert incest survivors. Through new findings and expanded discussions on 'engulfment,' 'excessive guilt,' 'loyalty,' and 'narcissism,' Silently Seduced offers a framework to understand covert incest and its effect on sexuality, intimacy, and relationships to facilitate the process of recovery.
