Description

This edited volume summarizes promising, evidence‑based strategies clinicians can implement in their work with morally injured persons. Many service members transitioning to civilian life struggle with mental health issues. For some, these mental health issues revolve around moral injury— acts or experiences that contradict the individual’s fundamental beliefs about the world, or how it ought to be. The book’s expert contributors are researchers and clinicians who are leading efforts to define and assess moral injury, identify its potential mechanisms and outcomes, and develop and disseminate treatments to promote recovery and healing from morally injurious events. Through the use of case examples, authors discuss promising theoretical models for conceptualizing moral injury, prominent conceptual and clinical concerns for addressing such injuries in clinical practice, and existing and novel intervention approaches.

Currier, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who serves as Associate Professor and Director of Clinical Training in the Combined Clinical & Counseling Psychology (CCP) Doctoral Program at the University of South Alabama. Dr. Currier has been involved in research and scholarship on moral injury for roughly a decade, during which time he completed multiple research projects with VA medical centers and other clinical or community-based settings with military veterans. Dr. Currier has published over 90 peer-reviewed articles on trauma, meaning making, moral injury, and interplay between spirituality and mental health.  Kent D Drescher, PhD, M.Div. was a staff member at the National Center for PTSD for 27 years (1990-2017). During that time, he was involved in trauma research, clinical education, and clinical care for veterans suffering from PTSD and other related disorders.  He has been involved in discussions of the emerging construct of moral injury since 2007, and in recent years has been active in treatment development. He has authored more than 60 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, many related to the intersection of trauma, spirituality, and moral injury. He recently retired from federal service. Jason A. Nieuwsma, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University Medical Center and serves as the Associate Director for Mental Health and Chaplaincy in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
