Abstract

This article describes the acceptance and taking-charge process of a history

of incest involving a father and his daughter. This case arrived through an ad

hoc telephone line set up by a territorial service aimed at listening, counselling,

and treating problems and conflicts inherent in family life. The mother

made the first contact with this service, ten years after the event. The case

story is geared to outlining the development of the relational events within

the parents‟ relationship and in relation to their daughter as well as the interactions

with the family service (CPF). The purpose is also to show the procedure

of the intervention and taking-charge process carried out by the psychologists

of the service as well as the counter-transference feelings that

have accompanied the clinical intervention and the effects they have had on

the relationships between the individual members of the whole family.
