This article draws from an Africentric perspective to engage the ways in which the notion of moral injury is approached within psychology. The paper argues for the need to interrogate dominant Eurocentric approaches to moral injury and calls for more openness towards non-Western belief systems. The paper attempts to show how rituals that are perceived in the African context to be healing and transformative continue to be absent in the mainstream psychology literature and theorization. For this reason, there is a call for the centring of Indigenous healing rituals if the discipline is to make a positive and inclusive contribution in the scholarship of moral injury. The article is significant given its potential to contribute to the body of knowledge on the importance of centering African perspectives when engaging the notion of moral injury.

本文从非洲中心主义的角度出发，探讨心理学中处理道德伤害概念的方式。这篇论文认为有必要质疑主导的以欧洲为中心的道德伤害方法，并呼吁对非西方信仰体系更加开放。该论文试图展示在非洲背景下被认为具有治愈性和变革性的仪式如何在主流心理学文献和理论中继续缺席。出于这个原因，如果该学科要在道德伤害的研究中做出积极和包容的贡献，就需要将土著治愈仪式集中起来。这篇文章具有重要意义，因为它有可能为关于在涉及道德伤害概念时以非洲观点为中心的重要性的知识体系做出贡献。
