Chronic embitterment - its management in Occupational Health

摘要

Embitterment is an emotion usually generated by a perceived sense of injustice, characterized by blame attributed to the assumed perpetrator(s) of the injustice, and a determination to seek redress. In chronic form, it is commonly encountered in occupational health settings and among employment lawyers but is widespread. Chronic embitterment was initially reported as post-traumatic embitterment disorder [1].
