Embitterment is a distinct state of mood known to everyone. It can
be seen in the context of exceptional though "normal" negative life
events. It is an emotional reaction e.g. to humiliation, to being
severely disappointed by others, or to violations of basic values.
Embitterment is accompanied by other emotions like feelings of
hopelessness and helplessness, poor moods and a lack of drive, and
aggression towards oneself and others. It can end in suicide or
even murder-suicide and in a distinct pathological state known as
"Posttraumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED)". But despite the high
prevalence rates, the detrimental effects on individuals and its
forensic and societal importance, embitterment has yet to receive
due scientific attention. In this book pioneers in embitterment
research summarize the current knowledge on embitterment, its
triggers, phenomenology and consequences. The work is intended to
stimulate international debate and to contribute to a better
understanding of embitterment and a deeper appreciation of the
impact of exceptional but normal negative life events on
psychological well-being.
