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 adistinctpathological 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.

This ground-breaking volume, published by the American
Psychological Association in partnership with the International
Union of Psychological Science, provides a detailed guide for the
clinical implementation of the ICD-11 diagnostic classification
system by psychologists and other health professionals. The World
Health Assembly adopted the Eleventh Revision of the International
Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) in 2019 as the basis for global
health information and reporting. This edited volume offers a
step-by-step approach to diagnosis, giving psychologists and
trainees around the world the tools they need to apply ICD-11
diagnostic requirements for mental, behavioral, and
neurodevelopmental disorders as the basis for delivering high
quality, evidence-informed care. Authors summarize impairment,
functioning, assessment, the developmental approach, terminology,
research methodologies, and other key aspects of psychological
practice. Each chapter describes a psychological approach to a
different diagnostic area, operationalized as a conceptually
driven, person-oriented, biopsychosociocultural formulation that
integrates pertinent history, behavior, symptoms, phenomenology,
and functioning. Written to be responsive to the unique context of
psychological practice, including consideration of regional,
linguistic, and cultural factors, A Psychological Approach to
Diagnosis is the first comprehensive training resource on WHO’s
ICD-11 classification of mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental
disorders. This book is designed to complement the World Health
Organization’s Clinical Descriptions and Diagnostic Requirements
(CDDR) for ICD-11 Mental, Behavioural and Neurodevelopmental
Disorders. Â
This book, written and edited by leading experts from around the
world, looks critically at how culture impacts on the way
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related disorders are
diagnosed and treated. There have been important advances in
clinical treatment and research on PTSD, partly as a result of
researchers and clinicians increasingly taking into account how
"culture matters." For mental health professionals who strive to
respond to the needs of people from diverse cultures who have
experienced traumatic events, this book is invaluable. It presents
recent research and practical approaches on key topics, including:
* How culture shapes mental health and recovery * How to integrate
culture and context into PTSD theory * How trauma-related distress
is experienced and expressed in different cultures, reflecting
local values, idioms, and metaphors * How to integrate cultural
dimensions into psychological interventions Providing new
theoretical insights as well as practical advice, it will be of
interest to clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and other health
professionals, as well as researchers and students engaged with
mental health issues, both globally and locally.
