The page really does need more criticisms of the concept, and they should be integrated throughout rather than placed in a ghetto section. I've attempted to add a link to an ezine articles page as a [[WP:PARITY|parity source]] (as most of the discussions seem to be popular books rather than scholarly press) but ran into a blacklist problem; I've [[MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist#ezinearticles|placed a request to whitelinst the page]] and in the meantime added a placeholder url.

Use/mention error
The ever popular use/mention error: This article is not about the term covert incest. This article is about covert incest. There is a difference. This is an encyclopedia, not a dictionary. :) The first sentence should be rewritten. --95.34.142.247 (talk) 22:39, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hi 95.34.142.247! Thank you for your comment. I rewrote the lead. However, next time, why don't you try to fix it yourself? With friendly regards, Lova Falk talk 07:40, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Somewhat off message
Two important points are not covered in the article:
- Unintended. Unlike incest, covert incest is often unintended. Parents' often see it as a positive (My daughter and I are best friends). This point was raised before but not developed [Involuntary_covert_incest]
- Contributing factors. Covert incest is far more likely in the presence of mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, and high conflict divorce.
I made the following edits to provide a better platform for developing the topic going forward:
- New Section → I created a [Contributing factors] section to discuss mental illness, substance abuse, domestic violence, and high conflict divorce.
- Introduction → Added that it is a "maladaptive parent skill" and that "the damage to the child is downstream (adulthood)". Added graphic to highlight the point that this is “non-sexual” as the term is misleading and often misunderstood. Covert incest literally means hidden (covert) sexual intercourse between persons too closely related (incest). Emotional incest is a better term.
- See also → Removed links that did not directly pertain. Jocasta complex relates to “sexual” incest. Narcissistic abuse where there is no mention of incest in the article. Generally, Borderline personality disorder is the personality disorder most commonly associated with emotional incest.
