#072 - The Scrooge Syndrome (Dr. Stephen Diamond)

In this years Christmas episode we explore the issue of bitterness – and the proposed diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED) – by examining the character and story arc of Ebenezer Scrooge from the famous Charles Dickens Christmas tale “A Christmas Carol”.

Along the way we discuss issues related to bitterness such as childhood trauma, romance, grief, nostalgia, meaning, mortality, and personal redemption.
