任何母女相處經驗，都可能包含喜悅與衝突的。然而，以往的實證研究，僅專注於亂倫受害者對非施虐母親的負向感受，而忽略了母女關係中，所獲得正向感受和經驗，可能對受害女性的社會生活適應有所助益。因此，本研究的目的，在深入瞭解兒童時期曾遭遇亂倫經驗的成年女性，如何詮釋影響其與非施虐母親關係之變與不變。採「生命史探究法」，以立意選樣方式，選取4位曾接受勵馨基金會諮商的女性進行深度訪談。訪談資料形成二個重要類屬：母女關係不變的特性及影響母女關係轉變的要素。也針對研究結果及相關的實證研究結果，進行深入討論，並逐一列舉本研究所面臨的限制，和提供具體的建議，以做為未來實務工作及研究方向之參考。
The purpose of the current study was to look at the significant factors that contributed to changes in the relationships of women with a history of incest to their non-offending mothers. Previous studies in the area of incestuous families have paid much attention to the negative feelings in the mother-daughter relationship. The strengths that emerged from the mother-daughter dyad however were not explored. A qualitative design and the in-depth interviews have been conducted to collect narrative data from four Taiwanese participants, recruited from the ”Garden of Hope Foundation.” All interviews have been audio-taped and transcribed. Two main categories: the connection between the mother-daughter dyads, and the changes in the mother-daughter relationship, have emerged and have been fully discussed. Limitations and implications of the present study and recommendations for future research were addressed.
