Child Sexual Grooming
Untangling Myth from Reality to Prevent the Harm of Child Sexual Abuse
A Guide for Helping Professionals
by Doyle K. Pruitt, PhD, LCSW-R & Molly R. Wolf, PhD, LMSW

Child sexual grooming is a deliberate, deceptive process that precedes child sexual abuse. Grooming involves behaviors, both in-person and online, that opens predatory access to the child while reducing the likelihood that the abuse will be detected. It targets not only the child but also their caregivers and other influential adults. Understanding and preventing grooming is crucial for stopping child sexual abuse.

Sadly, the word "grooming" has been hijacked for political reasons, its meaning stretched beyond any useful definition. Child Sexual Grooming, by Doyle Pruitt and Molly Wolfe, has been written to restore clarity and understanding about just what child sexual grooming is, how it is perpetrated, the impacts grooming has on the immediate victim of the abuse, as well as on his or her family and extended caregivers, and how these harmful effects can be mitigated and prevented.

This book is based on empirical research and the authors' extensive clinical experience with survivors, offenders, and organizations dealing with these issues. As is evident by the Table of Contents, the book is extensive and thorough:
