Hate revisited: power, envy, and greed in the rehabilitation setting.
Hate has been recognized as an important psychological element in the rehabilitation setting. Hate emanates from a variety of sources, including the patient, his family, and staff; it can also stem from various systems influences and is perpetuated by power, envy, and greed. This article examines several systems factors that contribute to hate and conflict in the rehabilitation setting. It is argued that the growth and rapid expansion of rehabilitative services, the incorporation of rehabilitation enterprises along with new career opportunities, and quests for power potentially contribute to the enhancement of hate. Ultimately, this hate can interfere with the quality of care and outcomes in rehabilitation if it is not recognized and addressed.
