About the Course

This course is recommended for health care professionals, especially psychologists, counselors, social workers, and nurses who seek knowledge about covert incest and its implications. Whether unfamiliar or familiar with some of the concepts involved in this material, you can benefit from information in this course.
When a parent’s love for a child is more expecting than giving, more jealous than trusting, the child can become trapped in a “psychological marriage” with the parent, becoming a victim of covert incest. Identification of this problem is often difficult, for the victim often feels idealized and privileged rather than abused. Dr. Adams provides a framework for beginning a process of recovery.

This course is based on the book, Silently Seduced : When Parents Make Their Children Partners – Understanding Covert Incest created by Kenneth M. Adams, Ph. D.
