Massey study on sexual abuse
NZPA

Wellington: Massey University is about to start a 20-month study on how to best help people recover from mental hurt following sexual abuse.

The Accident Compensation Corporation said it had commissioned psychologists from Massey's school of psychology in Palmerston North to review international studies on the subject to develop a best practice for New Zealand.

Experts in counselling, psychiatry, psychotherapy, social work and psychology would work on investigating the best ways to rehabilitate people affected by sexual abuse. The study is due to be completed by March 2006.
