The posttraumatic embitterment disorder (PTED) has to be differentiated from the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post Traumatic Embitterment Disorder can be a reaction to this feeling of victimisation. The problem of embitterment reactions and also the posttraumatic embitterment disorder increasingly gain international attention. In PTED this is embitterment, the feeling of vilification, injustice, and aggression towards the perpetrator. Embitterment is, like anxiety, a reactive emotion towards injustice, insult or breach of trust. Higher values are only indications of critical embitterment. Embitterment is gnawing and has the tendency not to stop. An average score 2,5 speaks for a clinical relevant degree of embitterment response. The consequence is severe and long lasting embitterment. The German psychiatrist Michael Linden and others have emphasized the importance of embitterment.
