520 _aThis book is largely based on the proceedings of the annual scientific meeting of the New Zealand Branch of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. The authors propose that the book will act as a stimulus for psychiatrists, psychiatric registrars and other mental health professionals to think more about the development and personality of the patients they see and treat. There are four sections in the book covering the following: child development with reference to influences, outcomes and psychopathology; experiences in childhood and adult psychopathology; personality and psychopathology; and the development of psychiatry in New Zealand. In chapter 5, "Child Sexual Abuse: A New Zealand Study", Sally Merry and Leah Andrews discuss a study that measured the psychological adjustment of children who had recently disclosed sexual abuse in the previous six months and then reassessed them 12 months later, measuring any interventions that occurred in this period. They concluded that the short and long term effects of child sexual abuse are likely to be due to an interaction of the stress of abuse with pre-existing psychopathology, current family circumstances and the response of the family and helping agencies. In chapter 11, "Child Sexual Abuse and Risks of Suicidal Behaviour", Annette Beautrais, Peter Joyce and Roger Mulder discuss a paper that presents the results of a preliminary analysis of the relationship between sexual abuse in childhood and suicidal behaviour, using data that was gathered during the course of the Canterbury Suicide Project. The results conclude that some component of the apparent correlation between sexual abuse and suicidal behaviours arises from correlated family factors which are associated with abusive behaviours.
