N2  - This newspaper feature article investigates concerns that recent ACC policy changes which restricted access to sexual abuse counselling may have in part been based on contentious research. The article explores the work, views and influence of Professor Felicity Goodyear-Smith, an Auckland University academic who is married to the son of Bert Potter, leader of the Centrepoint Community. Her involvement with Centrepoint and views that not all sexual activity between children and adults is damaging are explored. The article refers to the recently published Massey University study of adults who were children in Centrepoint, 'A different kind of family : retrospective accounts of growing up at Centrepoint and implications for adulthood', http://www.nzfvc.org.nz/PublicationDetails.aspx?publication=14686
