Moral Injury
•Is when deeply held beliefs and expectations about ethical conduct are transgressed and disrupt a person’s expectations about and confidence in his or her own moral behavior or the capacity of others to behave in a just and ethical manner
•Is not inherently fear-based; it can arise from
o killing (esp. friendly fire, vengeance killing, or enjoying killing)
o perpetration of violence
o betrayals of trust in leaders
o witnessing depraved behavior
o handling human remains, or
o failing to prevent serious unethical acts
•Can result in guilt, sorrow, shame, self-handicapping, anger, demoralization, alienation, isolation, loss of faith or meaning, and/or despair
-- Litz, B. T. et. al.

How Moral Injury can sound
13
“… I started thinking that God hates me…I'm not
religious or anything, but I felt like there was this
hate for me.... That's the terrible thing of war. You
do terrible things and you have to live with them
afterwards but you'd do them the same way if you
had to go back. So what do you do? It's an evil,
evil, evil thing inside your body. It's like … good
versus evil inside there ….”
Documentary film “Korengal” by Sebastian Junger Ss, reflecting on his
experience at Restrepo Camp: https://korengalthemovie.com
Moral Injury
Can emerge long after events or experiences
Is an aspect of every war
Creates Isolation
Can result from other traumas
Can affect many professions (medical, law enforcement, social work,
ministry)
Can emerge as secondary trauma in caregivers
