Notes:	Article describes a study being conducted by Dr Gwen Roberts at the University of Queensland, Department of Psychiatry, in conjunction with the Victims of Violence Program, Harvard Medical School, U.S.A. The main purpose of the study is to test a new instrument, the Multidimensional Trauma Recovery and Resiliency Scale (MTRR) which is designed to assess trauma, recovery and resilience on each of eight domains of psychological functioning. Together with a standardised clinical interview, it was developed for use with both clinical and community samples of trauma survivors, including adult victims of rape, incest and domestic violence, adult survivors of childhood trauma, combat veterans and other traumatised populations. The study in Brisbane is related to survivors of domestic violence, and involves two groups of women – one group who attended the Emergency Department, Royal Brisbane Hospital and the other group who sought help from the Domestic Violence Resource Centre. Early results worldwide indicate that the MTRR shows promise as an instrument able to assess a wide range of responses, including negative effects and expressions of recovery and resiliency. Includes contact details for Gwen Roberts.
