... incest, sexual crimes, and the need for psychotherapy ... (life coach, counselor, psychotherapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, quezon city, manila, philippines)



the crew of tv5's bitag, hosted by ben tulfo, did an interview on incest.




incest is really a combination of child abuse, pedophilia, and rape.   




factors associated with incest include alcoholism, overcrowding and physical proximity, passive or absentee mothers, and a family history of incest in the perpetrator.




boys as well as girls can be victimized.  




the effects of incest manifest as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, tendencies for self-harm, hypersexuality, and/ or conflicted  intimated relationships.  clearly, survivors of incest and other sexual victimization need psychotherapy.
