dc.description.abstractAdult female survivors of incest (n=68) were compared to other women (n=93) with respect to their relationships with their mothers and female friends. For the most part, incest survivors did not differ from other women in terms of their friendship networks or the quality of their closest female friendships. However, they did report lower levels of interpersonal competence. Survivors described relatively poor relationships with their mothers, who were seen by them as socially isolated and lonely. Measures of relationships with their friends were largely independent of those assessing relationships with their mothers. These results imply that incest indeed affects the relationships adult survivors share with other women, particularly their mothers, but also indicate that negative consequences are not always present. Many aspects of friendships with other women seem resilient and may serve as a positive foundation for therapeutic interventions.en_US
