520			_aThis thesis explores the life experiences of 13 Māori women aged between 21 and 57 years, focusing on the long term effects of childhood sexual abuse to which they had been subjected. A series of semi-structured interviews were used to reveal the women's descriptions of the physical, social and emotional impacts of the sexual abuse. Their experiences are presented as indepth case studies, and explore how these women rallied their personal, interpersonal, and social resources to survive the abuse, and ultimately find a way of healing. A theoretical synthesis comprising Tikanga Māori, Ecological Psychology, Social Systems theory, and Feminist theory is used to shed light on the participants' narratives. They also identify characteristics of their perpetrators; most were male and all but one was a trusted individual. A culturally competent model of healing (Koru Model) for Māori survivors of sexual abuse was generated from the collective survival and healing strategies described by the participants. This model is applicable to healing for Māori because it encompasses key elements within a Māori world view, which include spiritual, interpersonal, physical, and emotional components. Limitations of the research are discussed along with suggestions for further research.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT _bA
