Abstract
This chapter explores the role of psychological science and practice in prevention and detection of human trafficking, taking into account different subfields of the discipline. It delineates formal resolutions proposed by the American Psychological Association, in the light of some global standards on mental health of human trafficking survivors. Psychologists work on three levels to fight human trafficking: individual-community, systemic, and global; they play a significant role in identifying and properly interpreting indicators of human trafficking. In order to recognize victims of this crime, a knowledge of common behavioral responses associated with complex trauma appears helpful. Psychologists are uniquely positioned to comprehend and explain the manipulation and invisible chains that bind the victims. Successful prevention and detection of human trafficking should take into account cultural differences, stereotypes, empowerment of survivors, as well as their resilience and meaning-making processes.
