- Abstract
- This research explores the recovery process of an adult victim of father-daughter incest through the theological lens of forgiveness. A review of the literature for father-daughter incest includes a discussion of assessment criteria, as well as a review of recovery themes: self-esteem issues, exposure of the secret, reality shaping, experience of grief, and feelings of guilt and shame. A review of the literature for forgiveness explores the dynamic formulations of key theologians and a discussion of the themes of: empathetic blessing, acceptance and expression of self, dealing with the past, and restoration of wholeness. A single case history of pastoral counseling is explored through the use of verbatim accounts and a q-sort instrument which validates the experience of adjustment and forgiveness. Forgiveness is discussed as operating dynamically through memory, experiences of shame connected with empathy, responsible personal stewardship, an awareness of the dynamics of the incestuous family and the therapist's self-awareness. These dynamics operate as fluid themes. Forgiveness is seen as that dynamic force of therapy which enables movement.
