Using 'citizenship' to deal with feelings of hate in psychiatry

George Ikkos. Hosp Med. 2002 Aug.

Abstract

Clinicians' feelings of hate towards their patients may contribute to adverse clinical outcomes through unintended harm or intended abuse. Ideas of 'citizenship' may assist psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to deal with naturally arising feelings of hate, through engagement in dialogue with patients and colleagues, in a spirit of ethical encounter and fellowship.
