ALMEIDA AMAZONAS, Maria Cristina Lopes de; ALMEIDA OLIVEIRA, Patrícia de  y  BARROS MELO, Liliane Maria Martins de. Repercussions of incestuous sexual abuse on the mother/daugther. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2009, vol.15, n.3, pp. 82-100. ISSN 1677-1168.

This research aimed to understand the relationship between mothers and daughters after the discovery and denouncement of incestuous abuse suffered by the child. Four women who have denounced the abuse suffered by their daughters were interviewed. Their speeches were submitted to Content Analysis. Results show that those women are very strict about their mother role, and conduct the relationship with their daughters in a constant attempt to protect them. This wish to protect their daughters is so strong that it makes it harder to build new loving relationships. All of them show fear in trusting someone again, fearful that the partner can become a new aggressor of their daughters. This allows one to think about the difficulties those women have in living new loving relationships or even in dealing with other men who share common spaces with them.

Palabras clave : intra-familiar sexual violence; affective relationship; woman; mother.
