520 _aThesis (MHSc) - Auckland University of Technology?, 2004. This thesis investigated the recovery process for women who have experienced abuse by male partners. The research involved in-depth interviews with 10 women whose experiences of abuse and healing span more than 50 years. The researcher employed a feminist grounded theory approach to identify women's psychosocial processes of recovery, including women's development of self-identity, meaning-making, and coping strategies. From this analysis, a model entitled 'Growing Through Adversity' was developed. The model has three inter-related aspects: "Finding a Path Beyond Abuse", which relates to the experiences of finding safety; "Getting A Life", which covers the woman's interactions with the social world; and "Becoming Myself", which relates to personal growth and development. The author identifies and describes five temporal phases women go through as they recognise, understand and then attempt to get physically, emotionally and mentally free from abuse by a male partner: falling for love; taking control; securing a base; making sense; being myself. In highlighting the phases of recovery, the researcher maintains that the purpose of seeking help changes over time.th
