This study explores several important dimensions of 5 Taiwanese incestuous fathers during their sexual offence process. The dimensions includes: the connections between past and cu叮ent life context and motivations of offense; the characteristics ofconflicts in their marital relationships; their cognitive distortions which used to over- come their internal inhibitions, their offense behaviors, and their reactions after their cnme.

Finally, this paper also try to classified 5 incest offenders into 2 types, according to their prior crime stress events, offense motives, their crime behaviors, their rela- tionships with victims, and the reactions after crime. Suggestions are made for intervention strategies and prediction of recidivism rate.
