| Abstract | The author was invited to prepare a commentary in response to the Lev-Wiesel manuscript titled "Intergenerational Transmission of Sexual Abuse? Motherhood in the Shadow of Incest." Lev-Wiesel's stated intent in the study was to understand an important issue, namely how is intra-familial sexual abuse perpetuated across successive generations. This author's first concern is the primary source of data. Rather than interviewing the mothers who are the focus of the investigation, Lev-Wiesel elected to interview their therapists. Koverola sees the use of the therapists as the primary data source as problematic, particularly in light of the fact that there is no exploration of potential bias in the views of the therapists. A second area of weakness in the manuscript, according to Koverola, is data analysis. The analysis procedures are in this author's opinion inadequately described, so it is not possible to fully ascertain the procedures. In Koverola's view, the most problematic aspect of the paper is found in the conclusions. Lev-Wiesel categorizes the sample of mothers into four typologies, and then embarks upon explaining the mechanism by which sexual abuse is transmitted across generations for each typology. Unable to find one unifying theory to explain the typologies, Lev-Weisel elects to find a different theory for each typology. In conclusion, Lev-Wiesel has undertaken research on a very important and indeed controversial topic. It is this author's hope that this research will not be used to further victimize mothers by blaming them for the abuse of their children but rather, that it will spur researchers to undertake research that will ultimately lead to the prevention of incest.
