Abstract
Treatment of a 52-yr.-old male complaining of repeated incestuous behavior with his daughter is described. Objective and subjective measures of incestuous interest were devised along with ratings of normal father-daughter interaction. Covert sensitization, employing noxious scenes based on subjectively reported aversive aspects of the incestuous behavior, eliminated incestuous interest but did not de-value appropriate interaction.Keywords
