A member asked:
Is there a reason incest leads to disorders?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Betrayal, trauma: When incest occurs the victim very frequently experiences this sexual contact as a betrayal of expected, loving relationship. For example, if an uncle has sex with his niece that girl might be expecting that her uncle would look out for her best interests and rather he uses her for his sexual gratification. This hostile crossing of boundaries can cause trauma and related disorders.
