SUMMARY:Live Webinar: The Social-Functional Model of Moral Harms and Moral 
 Injury: From Theory to Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Brett Litz\, Ph.D.\nDescription:\nMoral injury h
 as attracted substantial clinical and research attention\, but the field c
 ontinues to face problems of construct definition\, measurement\, causal e
 xplanation\, and premature claims about treatment (Litz\, 2025\; Litz &amp
 \; Walker\, 2025). Moral harms can arise from perpetrating or failing to p
 revent acts that violate fundamental moral expectations\, witnessing the i
 nhumanity of others\, or being directly affected by others’ serious mora
 l violations. Exposure to such experiences is not synonymous with moral in
 jury. Moral injury refers to a clinically significant and functionally imp
 airing outcome that develops in some individuals following moral harm (Lit
 z et al.\, 2025).\n\nThis presentation describes a social-functional model
  of moral harms and moral injury. Building on social-functional theories o
 f emotion and morality\, the model assumes that human beings possess evolv
 ed capacities that support cooperation\, care\, fairness\, trust\, account
 ability\, and social belonging (Keltner &amp\; Haidt\, 1999\; Litz &amp\; 
 Walker\, 2025). Serious violations of this social contract can generate po
 werful and relatively automatic moral and social pain. Moral emotions such
  as guilt\, shame\, anger\, and disgust are functional in the short term b
 ecause they regulate behavior and relationships. Moral injury may arise wh
 en moral harm produces enduring disruptions in these social-functional pro
 cesses and in the person’s capacity to participate safely\, compassionat
 ely\, responsibly\, and with a sense of worth in the social world.\n\nThe 
 presentation will consider implications of this framework for assessment\,
  case formulation\, and treatment. The social-functional approach is a reh
 abilitation model that emphasizes identifying how moral harm has altered f
 unctioning\, relationships\, valued social roles\, trust\, belonging\, and
  opportunities for reciprocal care and contribution. Treatment follows fro
 m these hypotheses and prioritizes corrective learning through action\, in
 cluding compassion\, disclosure and witnessing\, accountability and repair
  when appropriate\, reengagement in valued roles\, and experiences that re
 store belonging and shared humanity. Evidence from the development of Adap
 tive Disclosure and Adaptive Disclosure-Enhanced will be discussed as an e
 mpirical foundation for this approach (Litz et al.\, 2009\, 2024).\nCE Inf
