520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc This thesis examines how disclosing sexual abuse, coming out as a lesbian or bisexual, or having a sexually transmitted disease impacts on women's lives. The research aims to find out what goes on for women prior to disclosure, and what influenced their decision to disclose, therefore helping to increase the understanding of the process of women's self disclosure. Eighteen women were interviewed: 3 Maori and 15 New Zealand-born Europeans. A grounded theory method, relating to feminist research using qualitative methods, such as open and closed questioning with semi-structured interviewing, was employed. The findings of the study show six categories characterise the process of disclosure. These were the time prior to disclosure, motivation of disclosure, assessing the risks involved, network of confidants, strategies for disclosing, and the consequences of disclosing. The results suggest that disclosure of traumatic secrets could be helpful to women who are experiencing difficulties with self disclosure. Further research is needed to investigate how the role of culture complicates the process of disclosure for women.
