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. \u003cbr\u003eIn 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 understandingof embitterment and a deeper appreciation of the impact of exceptional but normal negative life events on psychological well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52353387364625,"sku":"NLS9783709117286","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783709117286.jpg?v=1758182887"},{"product_id":"embitterment-book-michael-linden-9783211997406","title":"Embitterment","description":"In this book pioneers in embitterment research summarize the current knowledge on embitterment, its triggers, phenomenology and consequences.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52598463922449,"sku":"NLS9783211997406","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783211997406.jpg?v=1761076156"},{"product_id":"hurting-memories-and-beneficial-forgetting-book-michael-linden-9780123983930","title":"Hurting Memories and Beneficial Forgetting","description":"Memories are indispensable for individuals as well as social groups. Forgetting not only means loss of functioning but also loss of identity. Memories can also be hurting and cause problems, as research on posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD) has shown. This is true for individuals as well as social groups and even societies. Memories and especially negative memories can escape the control of the individual. Many political conflicts can only be understood when taking history and memories into account.   In this volume a comprehensive scientific overview is given on the development of \"hurting memories\" in individuals and societies. Consequences are described, i.e. from mental disorders in individuals, like PTSD or other neurotic disorders, to societal tensions and conflicts, from South Africa to Northern Europe. Additionally, \"beneficial forgetting\" is discussed, from treatments of individuals to reconciliation between social groups. The contrasting of \"hurting memories and beneficial forgetting\" can help to understand, that memories can have positive and negative results and that it is difficult to decide when to support memories and when forgetting.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52599006331153,"sku":"NLS9780123983930","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780123983930.jpg?v=1761077254"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-michael-linden.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
