Abuse in care: Psychologist on cover-ups in Catholic order

From Checkpoint, 6:19 pm on 14 February 2022

The Catholic Order of St John of God has been described as masters of cover-up and moral simpletons.

An Australian clinical psychologist has been giving evidence at the inquiry looking at historical abuse of boys at Marylands School in Christchurch between 1955 and 1984.

Dr Michelle Mulvihill visited New Zealand a number of times in the early 2000s to interview more than 70 men who were survivors of Marylands.
