Identifying, assessing and treating male perpetrators and abused women is
the topic of a lecture hosted by the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for
Family Violence Research at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton
on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

The presentation will be held at 10 a.m. in Room 107 of the Muriel McQueen
Fergusson Centre. The centre is located at 678 Windsor St. Admission is free
and all are welcome to attend.

Leslie M. Tutty, a professor in the faculty of social work at the University
of Calgary, is the guest speaker. Dr. Tutty suggests that, because of the
prevalence of violence, every individual, couple and family seeking
counselling be assessed for current or historical abuse. She will discuss
her approaches to research, treatment and program evaluation.
