It may be little consolation, but the Victorian government isn't the only one releasing flawed documents.
In Scotland, there is a controversy over the booklet entitled A Can Of Worms, endorsed by the government's Cross Party Group for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse.
According to factuk.org (Falsely Accused Carers and Teachers), among other things, the publication encourages counsellors and social workers to use "...symptoms and 'body memories' to identify survivors of CSA..."
One critic describes A Can of Worms as "...a rehash of the material from The Courage to Heal, a book we all got to know very well..."
There may be pointers for Australia in all this, and some introductory links are provided here:
