About this listen

"When moral wounds cut deeper than physical ones, how do we heal?"

In The Moral Injury Spectrum, clinical psychologists C. Richard Spates Ph.D. and Karis L. Callaway Ph.D. (narrating their own work) deliver a definitive exploration of moral injury—the silent epidemic ravaging veterans, health care workers, educators, and first responders. Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this audiobook bridges rigorous research, clinical tools, and societal solutions to address one of psychology’s most urgent crises.

Why this audiobook is essential:

  • Comprehensive Framework: Traces moral injury from its Vietnam War origins to modern-day manifestations in health care, academia, and law enforcement. Integrates Jonathan Haidt’s moral foundations theory and the pioneering work of Jonathan Shay/Brett Litz.
  • Evidence-Based Healing: Reviews validated interventions tailored to individual and cultural contexts. Provides assessment tools for clinicians to quantify moral injury.
  • Societal Solutions: Examines collective moral injury (e.g., institutional betrayal) and how organizations can prevent harm. Explores the role of faith as both a risk factor and healing mechanism.

Who needs this audiobook?

  • Clinicians and therapists treating trauma, PTSD, or ethical distress
  • Veterans and first responders grappling with moral wounds
  • Health care workers and educators facing systemic moral dilemmas
  • Leaders and policymakers committed to ethical institutional reform

Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this isn’t just research—it’s a lifeline for the morally wounded and those who care for them.

Listen now—begin the healing.
