A social constructionist approach was utilised to access and construct meaning from the discourses emanating from the women’s narratives of their experience with alcohol and their attempts at rehabilitation. A Human Scientific Approach was adopted to examine and interpret how women’s drinking is socially constructed. The goals of this dissertation were to explore women’s alcohol dependence history explore women’s treatment history (or lack thereof) identify barriers and nature of barriers that limit women’s access to alcohol dependence treatment identify the reasons for women not accessing treatment, and to interpret women’s experiences of treatment per se. This study explored the discursive accounts of women’s alcohol dependence, treatment history and barriers in accessing alcohol dependence treatment. There is a paucity of research documenting women’s undisclosed drinking.
