- Summary:
- Moral Injury has been called the "signature wound" of today's wars. But what exactly is Moral Injury? What can we do to prevent or limit its occurrence? And, above all, what can we do to help heal afflicted warriors? This landmark volume provides an invaluable resource for those looking for answers. Gathered here are some of the most far-ranging, authoritative, and accessible writings to date on the topic of Moral Injury. Contributors come from the fields of psychology, theology, philosophy, psychiatry, law, journalism, neuropsychiatry, classics, poetry, and the profession of arms. Their voices find common cause in informing the growing, international conversation on war's deepest and most enduring invisible wound. Few may desire this myth-challenging, truth-telling, conversation, but it is needed if we truly wish to help those we send to fight our wars. Book jacket.
