  • This study explored the current state of treating patients with moral injury from the perspectives of 15 professionals from the United States (n = 9) and the United Kingdom (n = 6). Participants (e.g., psychiatrists, chaplains) who provided psychological care for Veterans and/or civilians with moral injury were interviewed about their experiences in treating moral injury, including the perceived barriers to care and the approaches they used. Findings highlighted the need for personalized treatment plans and flexible therapeutic approaches that consider patients’ cultural and spiritual worldviews.
