Abstract

Veterans often return from battle with a wounded conscience, a concept commonly referred to as moral injury. Mental health providers are developing treatment plans. Yet chaplains and other faith leaders also specialize in guilt, shame, and forgiveness. The writer proposed that veterans--through a series of small group meetings--could learn more about God's love, acceptance, and forgiveness, and as a result begin to forgive themselves. Participating veterans scored substantially higher in post-over pre-assessments on both the State Self-forgiveness Scale and the Loving God Scale, indicating significant growth in self-forgiveness.
