Summary

This study interviews 14 veterans who served in combat to create a group therapy program for moral injury—the lasting distress from events that violated their values. The goal is to help them reintegrate into civilian life and restore functioning. The research focuses on developing and testing the therapy's acceptability and feasibility within the VA system.
