1968, Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, Volume 2, page 61:
Margaret Mead has called our attention to an aspect of sex in remarriage which has not before been extensively commented on, namely, the dangers of what might be called pseudoincest: stepfathers attracted to their stepdaughters; stepdaughters seducing stepfathers; sexual attraction between stepbrothers and stepsisters; and stepmothers and stepsons similarly attracted to one another.
1972, H. L. P. Resnik, Sexual Behaviors: Social, Clinical, and Legal Aspects, page 177:
Bigras, Bouchard, Coleman-Porter, and Tasse described 9 cases of actual father-daughter incest and three cases of pseudoincest (with an adult substituting for the father).
1985, Donald Barton Johnson, Worlds in Regression: Some Novels of Vladimir Nabokov, page 152:
It is curious that Lolita, the only English novel that Nabokov saw fit to render into his native Russian (for an audience not permitted to read it), deals with the theme of pseudoincest. As Humbert Humbert says, his relationship with Lolita is a "parody of incest."
1986, Sborník prací Filosofické fakulty Brnénské university, Volumes 30-34, page 67:
Half of the cases were the classical father-daughter incest, a quarter of them the stepfather-stepdaughter pseudoincest and the remainder were abuse by relatives or siblings.
1993, Akadeemia, Volume 5, page 201:
The examples of pseudoincest avoidance, like the Israeli kibbutz and Chinese sim-pua, appear to support Westermarck's theory of voluntary incest avoidance.
2001, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen, “Introduction”, in Rebecca L. Copeland, Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen, editors, The Father-Daughter Plot: Japanese Literary Women and the Law of the Father, University of Hawai'i Press, →ISBN, page 4:
One of the most disturbing scenes in this narrative is surely the night he deflowers the still childlike girl whom he has been rearing as an adopted daughter, making her his wife. This act, striking the modern reader as no different from father-daughter rape or incestuous abuse, momentarily tears apart the haze of aesthetic/erotic illusion and makes one wonder about the reality of paternal domination behind the fiction of pseudoincest.
2002, Carol Fairbanks, Japanese Women Fiction Writers: Their Culture and Society, 1890s to 1990s, page 517:
In Kanashii yokan (A Sad Foreboding, 1988), a teacher has an unacceptable relationship with her student, and in other works there are examples of pseudoincest.
2002, David Garrett Izzo, The Writings of Richard Stern: The Education of an Intellectual Everyman, McFarland & Company, →ISBN, page 84:
What really matters within the overall plot is that while Sam, who is 57, tries to clear his son, he meets his son's former lover, Jacqueline, who was a very young French operative during the war and still is very young shortly after it. They begin an affair. […] There is a pseudoincest factor ripe enough to raise a jaded Freud's eyebrows and just as many twists of fate to fool even Tiresias.
2006, Janet Shibley Hyde & John D. DeLamater, Understanding Human Sexuality, page 427:
Child molesters also differ in whether they are incest offenders, pseudoincest offenders (sex with a stepchild), molesters of familiar children, or molesters of unfamiliar children (Guay et al., 2001).
2009, Susan L. Siegfried, Ingres: Painting Reimagined, page 216:
Whether fact or fiction, Antiochus and Stratonice is a good story. It is complex and intriguing, mixing eroticism with politics, virtue with immorality, and the revelation of truth with deception and concealment, all in the context of an exotic court drama. At the core of the story lay the disturbing assertion that a father had passed his wife to his son. This pseudoincest plot toyed with cultural taboos of the Persian East and the Greco-Roman West, anticipating Sigmund Freud's later naming of the Oedipus complex as an unconscious sexual desire.
2011, Graham Joyce, “Narrative and Regeneration: The Little Monsters Of Templeton by Lauren Groff”, in Danel Olson, editor, 21st-century Gothic: Great Gothic Novels Since 2000, Scarecrow Press, →ISBN, pages 450–451:
The streets of the industrial cities of that time were teeming with street urchins, and the hideous class system of the British had arrived at its most impervious and solidified condition. The induction into a middle-class family of a street orphan would have been an extraordinary act at that time. This extraordinary act—while not completely unthinkable—becomes explicable if Earnshaw’s compassion is underscored by culpability. The spectral suggestion that Heathcliff was Earnshaw's illegitimate child won't go away. What is unthinkable is that this never occurred to Emily Brontë. The implication is a structural ghost that twists and shapes the subsequent narrative. We are not dealing with pseudoincest at all, but incest in all its colors.

1999, Encyclopedia of Family Life, Volume 1, page 575:
According to the Ehrenbergs, when fathers become aroused by their daughters’ sexuality, they may react in destructive ways. Some become aloof in order to defend themselves against their feelings of sexual attraction; some turn against their daughters, becoming critical of their growing womanliness in order to curb their own distress; some engage in “pseudoincest” by being sexually seductive; and some, in extreme cases, cross the line and engage in actual incest.
