Moral Injury and Beyond: Understanding Human Anguish and Healing
Traumatic Wounds uniquely brings together a prominent collection of
international contributors from the fields of psychiatry,
psychology, philosophy, theology, military chaplaincy and acute
crisis care to address the phenomenon of moral injury. Introduced
in the 1990s to refer to a type of psychological trauma,
experienced especially by soldiers who felt that their actions
transgressed the expected moral norms, this innovative volume
provides a timely update that progresses and redefines the field of
moral injury. The ten ground-breaking essays expand our
understanding of moral injury beyond its original military context,
arguing that it can fruitfully be applied to and address
predicaments most persons face in their daily lives. Approaching
moral injury from different perspectives, the contributors focus on
the experiences of combat veterans and other survivors of violent
forms of adversity. The chapters address thought-provoking
questions and topics, such as how survivors can regain their hope
and faith, and how they can, in time, explore ways that will lead
them to grow through their suffering. Exploring moral injury with a
particular emphasis on spirituality, the early Church Fathers form
the framework within which several chapters examine moral injury,
articulating a new perspective on this important subject. The
insights advanced are not limited to theoretical innovations but
also include practical methods of dealing with the effects of moral
injury. This pioneering collection will be essential resource for
mental health practitioners and trainees working with people
suffering from severe trauma. Due to its interdisciplinary nature,
it will be useful not only to those academics and professionals
engaged with moral injury but will be a source of inspiration for
any perceptive student of the complexities and dilemmas of modern
life, especially as it interfaces with issues of mental health and
spirituality. It will also be invaluable to academics and students
of Jungian psychology, theology, philosophy and history interested
in war, migration and the impact of extreme forms of adversity.
