| Summary: | Harold Koenig et al.’s book, Moral Injury: A Handbook for Chaplains is analyzed to provide readers an orientation to the critical topic of moral injury and its impact within the military setting. As a prevalent issue among servicemembers, the book emphasizes how moral injury typically presents as a comorbidity among clinical diagnoses. Considering its central maladies in moral transgressions, chaplains are ideally situated to provide care. With clinical awareness, practical tools for assessment and counseling, and an inclusive approach to the major faiths present in today’s military, the chaplain can have a significant impact on the mental health of servicemembers. |
