TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Veteran suicide, war trauma and moral injury JO - American journal of forensic psychology A1 - Marvasti, J.A. A1 - Power, A. SP - 27 EP - 47 VL - 34 IS - 3 N2 - Moral injury and PTSD play a significant role in veteran suicidality. However, this has only recently been acknowledged by society and the military as the rate of suicides in the veteran and service member communities has reached incredible levels over the past decade. In this article, we interpret the definition of moral injury, and the interconnected-ness between inherent moral conflicts and mental illness, such as PTSD. We discuss our approach to suicidal veterans and propose a 12-step process of self-healing for veterans with moral injury and PTSD.
