This book explores human trafficking through various psychological frameworks, summarizing the definitions and types of trafficking, their social impact, and the ways in which mental health practitioners can provide care to victims.
This volume explains social determinants, opportunities for prevention and intervention, and types of human trafficking. It examines public perceptions of trafficking and how those perceptions are influenced by the media. By applying multiple frameworks to understand human trafficking, this volume provides strategies for positive change for survivors of trafficking and those seeking to aid this population.
Chapters examine theoretical perspectives on the psychology of trafficking and its effects on marginalized communities from an array of different subdisciplines, including clinical, social, and industrial/organizational psychology. Scholars and practitioners provide perspectives on the trauma and impacts trafficking has on survivors; the final chapter summarizes and provides recommendations, aiming to support and treat survivors of human trafficking and to develop methods of assistance and prevention.
