A group’s motivation and consequent efforts to establish that it has suffered more than its adversaries are called inter-group competitive victimhood，ICV. In doctor-patient conflicts，doctors group and patients group may respectively compete over different dimensions of victimhood and key traumatic events，try their best to claim that they suffered more than the other group. There were various psychological bases and motivations behind ICV，and the existence of ICV serves various functions. For the patients group，they would obtain more economic compensation and social supports by aid of ICV，however，in term of doctors group，weaken responsibilities of conflicts and maintain occupation dignity. ICV impedes the reconciliation of doctor-patient conflict. Direct and indirect doctor-patientgroup contact，and construct both common victim identity would lower the level of ICV.
