A hard copy of this report was in the collection transferred from MSD in March 2011; Technical report: 4; nz N2 - This is one of a series of reports produced by Raranga Whatumanawa (The weaving of the heart patterns), a research project undertaken by the Psychology Clinic at Massey University, in conjunction with the Psychology Centre in Hamilton, to investigate the mental health assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes resulting from sexual abuse. The research was funded by the Accident Compensation Corporation of New Zealand (ACC) and contributes to the development of useable national practice guidelines. This particular report provides the findings of a study designed to address Raranga Whatumanawa Objective One: Improving the understanding of sequelae following childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and sexual assault (SA) across the life span. The study aims to develop an empirically-derived, organisational framework integrating effects following CSA and SA in childhood and adulthood. This, the authors argue, is made necessary by a lack of systematic research in the field of sexual trauma, as well as an overabundance of conceptual explanations attempting to address CSA and SA sequelae. CSA and SA effects were gathered from analysis of symptomatology literature, assessment tools, and through consultation with experienced New Zealand researchers and practitioners. Following consultation with a multidisciplinary advisory group and 30 practitioners and 30 non-professionals, a range of hypothesised effects following CSA and SA were developed and the data collected converted into three-dimensional maps. This was in order to identify structural similarities between maps by lay and experts, and to study effects displayed in childhood and adulthood. A composite map was also developed to indentify the corresponding effects in childhood and adulthood and shared latent dimensions. These dimensions are discussed. Future research aims are also discussed. Please do not cite or quote this technical report without permission. ER -
