Bitterness may arise from situations or life events that are perceived as unjust or a threat to a person's basic beliefs. Its emotional quality is a mixture of anger and hopelessness: the person puts the blame external (other persons, situations) but has little hope for change (see Znoj, Chap. 2.1, this volume). © 2011 Springer-Verlag Vienna.
