title: Alcoholism recovery in lesbian women: a theory in development.
abstract: Utilizing the modified practice-theory strategy for theory building, a provisional theoretical model was developed to describe alcoholism recovery in lesbian women. Assumptions are acknowledged, key concepts are identified, and propositions are formulated for the purpose of generating nursing knowledge about a significant health problem in this aggregate of women. The theory's implications for nursing research, practice, and further theory development are discussed.
