THE KARPMAN DRAMA TRIANGLE
|
The Drama Triangle shows the dramatic roles that people
act-out in daily life that are unstable, unsatisfactory, repeated,
emotionally competitive, and generate misery and discomfort for
both people, sooner or later. |
The switching that occurs between
Persecutor - Rescuer - Victim
|
generates the Drama and the painful feelings that occur when
people have hidden agendas, secrets, and then manipulate for
dysfunctional personal advantage.
The problem about being in the Drama Triangle is that people
have NO stable [Parent-Adult] limits on behavior. NO
guidance -
people are out of rational control and do NOT use enough words
to identify the problem or do problem-solving |
|
WIN-LOSE ALWAYS TURNS
INTO LOSE-LOSE.

"WIN" IN THE DRAMA
