Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Abused Children with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: Development and Evaluation of a Manualised Treatment Programme A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology at Massey University, Albany New Zealand Jacqueline Susan Feather 2007 This thesis is dedicated to my parents, Reg and June Collins, who gave me a wonderful childhood full of fun and adventure, and a perfect base upon which to build this work. ABSTRACT A manualised trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) programme was developed for multiply-abused children diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Feather & Ronan, 2004) referred to the specialist clinic of the statutory child protection agency in New Zealand. The TF-CBT protocol was based on: (1) a review of the history of child abuse (CA) and child protection in New Zealand and internationally, with particular reference to professional developments and the role of psychologists in ameliorating CA; (2) a conceptualisation of the clinical presentation of CA in children; (3) a review of the field of psychotraumatology and theoretical models, including locally developed, relevant to the development of a treatment programme for traumatised abused children in a child protection setting in New Zealand; and (4) a review of evidence-based practice, treatment outcome models, and current empirical research related to developing an effective treatment model in this area.

  • Evil Habits: New Zealand's Anti-Masturbation Fervour, 1860S
    New Zealand Journal of History, 50, 1 (2016) Evil Habits NEW ZEALAND’S ANTI-MASTURBATION FERVOUR, 1860s–1960s1 IN DUNEDIN IN 1883, SEVEN-YEAR-OLD JOSEPH WAIN DIED. His parents had beaten him, tied his hands to his back and confined him to his bedroom without food, drink or a source of heat. At the inquest Dr Hocken explained that ‘this little boy was given to an evil habit, and that the correction was administered to cure him’. In desperation Joseph’s father had approached Dr Isaiah De Zouche in the hope of having Joseph circumcised to stop the ‘evil habit’.2 ‘Evil habit’ was a euphemism for masturbation, a term indicating ‘self-stimulation which is deliberate and designed to effect erotic arousal’.3 The post mortem revealed that Joseph had a fractured arm, but had died from tuberculosis. There had been irritation in the bladder and he had probably passed a kidney stone.4 Joseph was simply trying to gain relief, yet his parents interpreted his actions as autoerotic and therefore masturbatory – a commonly made parental and medical error when dealing with prepubertal boys during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Why did Joseph’s parents so vehemently fear masturbation? The answer lay in a blend of Judeo- Christian religious dogma and nineteenth-century mainstream medicine and quackery, both of which fed off an inheritance of the eighteenth century’s erroneous comprehension of male sexuality.5 Historians have provided various accounts of the rise and fall of masturbation anxiety. Jean Stengers and Anne Van Neck have given an overview

This culture of pregnancy was intimately facilitated by the joint explosion of dailies and periodicals and the rise of “experts,” ranging from doctors presiding over the birthing chamber to self-help books dictating how women should control their birth-giving. In response to this culture of pregnancy, some modernist writers portray the feminine reproductive body as a suffering entity that can be saved by an alignment with traditionally- coded masculine aspects of the mind.

  • K. Rowold Modern Mothers, Modern Babies
    Women’s History Review, vol. 28, issue 7 (November 2019), pp. 1157-1176 [https://doi.org/10.1080/09612025.2019.1641671] Modern Mothers, Modern Babies: Breastfeeding and Mother’s Milk in Interwar Britain1 Katharina Rowold Department of Humanities University of Roehampton London SW15 5PH [email protected] Abstract: In 1938, an obituary of Frederic Truby King, the New Zealand doctor who had founded the Mothercraft Training Society in London in 1918 announced that he had ‘hypnotise[d] thousands of mothers into the belief that breast feeding is the important factor in infant care…’ (Mother and Child, March 1938: 454). Truby King was an influential figure in the promotion of ‘scientific breastfeeding’, and this article investigates the position of breastfeeding in infant welfare and infant care advice directed at middle-class mothers in the interwar period. Positioned as the ‘natural’ way of feeding infants, breastfeeding was concurrently represented as the ‘modern’ and ‘scientific’ way of safeguarding babies’ healthy development. This article examines the development of the science of breastfeeding, which centred on the practice of breastfeeding and breast milk as a substance, and explores middle-class women’s experiences of breastfeeding in interwar Britain. In 1938, an obituary of Frederic Truby King, the New Zealand doctor who had founded the Mothercraft Training Society in London in 1918, claimed that he had ‘hypnotise[d] thousands of mothers into the belief that breast feeding is the important factor in infant care…’2 Truby

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Motherhood and the ‘Plunket Book’: A Social History A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand Jillian Margaret Clendon 2009 Abstract The Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health Book (the Plunket book) is a small booklet given to New Zealand mothers on the birth of a child. It has been used by nurses as a tool to record growth and development from birth to five years since the 1920s. Although use of the book decreases over time, it is frequently kept within the family and handed on from mother to child. Utilising an oral history approach, this study has traced the development of the Plunket book over time and explored the experiences of a group of 34 women and one man who have reflected on their ownership of, or involvement with, Plunket books. The study found that the Plunket book remains an effective clinical tool for mothers and nurses. Mothers have used the book as a tool to link past with present, to maintain kinship ties across generations, to deal with change intergenerationally, and in a manner that contributes to their self-identity as woman and mother. Although mothers were able to use the book to affirm their own knowledge and that of their mothers, a medically dominated discourse persists in the book.
