title: Clockwatching--is that really hate?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To consider experiences of hate, which occur in clinical encounters.
  
  
  METHODS
  A review of the electronic and manual literatures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Hate has become diluted to a euphemism, the 'difficult patient'.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Retaining use of the word hate avoids overlooking subtle cues in the unfolding relationship.
