Exploring Moral Harm with Dr. Kenneth Logan
In this powerful episode (#175) of Psychosocial Safety USA , Dr. I. David Daniels sits down with psychologist, academician, and trauma expert Dr. Kenneth Logan for a first‑ever conversation that goes straight to the core of the psychosocial safety ecosystem : moral harm and moral injury . Dr. Logan, who has spent more than 30 years working with first responders, military personnel, clergy, therapists, and others exposed to morally complex situations — breaks down how moral harm emerges when workplace conditions violate deeply held values. He explains why moral injury is not simply an emotional reaction but a predictable outcome of organizational environments that silence, scapegoat, betray, or abandon people when they need support most. Listeners will hear: How moral harm disrupts identity, trust, conscience, and belonging The four types of moral injury: commission , omission , betrayal , and witnessing Why accountability must be truthful, proportionate, and oriented toward repair How value conflicts arise in real workplaces — and why they matter The overlap between Dr. Logan’s research and Dr. Daniels’ Psychosocial Safety Deterioration Pathway™ Why Gen Z’s refusal to abandon their values is reshaping organizational culture This episode offers deep insight into the human consequences of value‑violating environments, and how organizations can create genuine psychosocial safety by addressing the conditions that cause harm in the first place. A must‑listen for leaders, practitioners, and anyone committed to building workplaces where people can speak honestly, be treated with dignity, and recover from morally complex experiences.
