520			_aThis 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 pilot study of the experiences of ACC sensitive claims consumers. Thirty-two sensitive claims consumers, primarily based in the North Island of New Zealand, who either completed counselling, or were near successful completion, participated in customer focus groups and key informant interviews. Participants reflected on therapy and therapist characteristics that were helpful or unhelpful to them. By examining areas of agreement and divergence between the views of pilot group consumers and practitioner focus group participants (see Mortimer, Jenner, Campbell, Ryan, Dickson, Woolley, et al. 2006. Practitioner Focus Group and Key Informant Interviews, Technical Report 7), a comparative view of treatment effectiveness is established. Themes such as aspects of a good therapist, variables in client/therapist relationships, what assists healing, particular techniques to be avoided, contextual factors influencing the effectiveness of counselling, and a number of other topics, are clarified. Customer factors such as resilience are also discussed. The authors suggest extending the study sample to customers nationwide and future client/practitioner research is recommended toward the improvement of customer outcomes.
