The conditions in which sexual abuse appears in families are similar to those that lead to sexual abuse within institutional settings, especially isolation and lack of relationships with the outside world. In such a context of seclusion, threats, complicity, paradoxical solidarity, and above all misinformation are propitious to the emergence of abuse. The positive results expected from disclosure—occurring either through a report followed by a judge’s sentence, or through an alternative means that the author terms “enunciation”—are a change in the group’s communication structure, producing an effect of “common knowledge.” The most interesting aspect of family interviews is that they let people talk freely and avoid another communicational closure. This issue concerns the difficulty to initiate an appropriate intervention reconciling the need to protect the victims and to respect their dignity as members of the family.
