The goal of this grounded-theory qualitative study is to inform practice for working with New Zealand women who experience male partner abuse. The basic psychosocial process of growing through adversity emerged as salient for all 10 participants. This process is composed of three highly interactive core categories (finding a path beyond abuse, getting a life, and becoming myself) and five sequential phases (falling for love, taking control, securing a base, making sense of it, and being myself). This article focuses on the phases of the process and reports patterns that are consistent with other studies that have identified phases of the process.
