How Do Victims of Abuse Function Differently?

Dr. Aranya: I wanted to follow up about a few of those points and then move into some others. So the first is the issue of grooming. Can you talk a little bit about how this kind of grooming leads to impairments in terms of her ability to freely consent or not consent to the subsequent actions? Absolutely. And I think this is really a point where it's so important to understand psychologically where a person who has been abused, how cognitively they do function differently.
