Drawing from a deeply personal connection to military experience and a distinguished academic career in ethics and psychoanalysis, this author explores the profound psychological and moral landscapes of soldiers. Driven by a lifelong quest to understand the burdens carried by those who serve, particularly her own veteran father, she bridges the gap between academic rigor and accessible narrative. Her work delves into the visible and invisible wounds of war, addressing issues like PTSD, military suicide, honor, guilt, and shame. She endeavors to illuminate these complex subjects for a wider audience, offering solace and understanding to military families.
