demoralizations
Losses of morale
Demoralizations are instances or processes of losing morale, confidence, or spirit.
The word appears in contexts where repeated setbacks or criticisms have worn people down: The team suffered a series of demoralizations before finally winning.
Less commonly, it refers to corruption of morals, though this older sense has largely faded from use.
