"Traumatic horror, injustice, embitterment and shame - the impact of moral injury in the workplace."
Professor. Zachary Steel - University of New South Wales
Fear based models of PTSD have dominated research and clinical approaches to PTSD since the 1990s. The role of overwhelming horror, injustice, embitterment and shame emerge as alternative
pathways to traumatic stress injury and the role of such emotions in addition to exposure to ‘life threat’. This session will provide attendees with an overview of research in moral injury which aims
to expand treatments for PTSD to better address role of these forms of traumatic stress injury.
