	Karpman drama triangle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The drama triangle is a psychological and social model of human interaction in transactional analysis first described by Stephen Karpman.
		For the drama triangle to come into full flower, one of the players must shift positions.
		While the "rescuer" role is seemingly the least problematic of the three points of the triangle, it still is a part of a non-communicative cycle, and thus should be treated in the same manner.

	Fairy Tales and Script Drama Analysis - by Stephen B. Karpman, M.D.
		The intensity of the drama is influenced by the number of switches in a time period (Script Velocity) and the contrast between the positions switched (Script Range).
		Drama begins when these roles are established, or are anticipated by the audience.
		Drama compares to transactional games, but drama has a greater number of events, a greater number of switches per event, and one person often plays two or three roles at once.

	The Drama Triangle: A trap to avoid in our interactions with others
		The drama triangle is a well-known model that is widely used in coaching and micro-coaching interventions to spot common relational dysfunctions.
		However, it is important to identify when a drama triangle takes place in order to decide whether it is useful or should be broken out.
		Drama triangle situations are power games that can be very damageable for the people involved and can generate long-term resentments, bad performance, conflicts, absenteeism, etc.

	ReadArticles.org : Workplace Drama Hampers Productivity
		Drama prevents you from being all that you can be, hampers productivity, drains your energy and takes you out of your power.
		Drama can be detected in your emotions, your beliefs, your patterns, your language, your assumptions, your guilt, your judgments your worry, and your behaviors.
		Dr Karpman’s Drama Triangle is one model that I use in my workshops to help people to “stop the drama” so that they can reach their potential and build rewarding relationships.

		Karpman drew these roles on an inverted triangle with the Persecutor (whose behavior ranges from the dominant one to the abuser in the family) and the Rescuer at the upper end of the triangle and the Victim at the bottom.
		Participating in the drama of the triangle keeps people stuck in lies, blame and shame, unhealthy secrets, “shoulds” and addictions to crisis, chaos and manipulation.
		The Drama Triangle positions are largely unconscious in nature and kept in place by denial, arrogance, helplessness and collusion (tacit agreement from all players to keep the status quo.) Unconscious scripts of guilt, shame are programmed into the young child’s psyche.

	Coaching Supervison - Karpman Drama Triangle
		The basic concept underpinning the Karpman Drama Triangle is the connection between responsibility and power, and their relationship to boundaries.
		The Karpman Drama Triangle was originally conceived by Steven Karpman and was used to plot the interplay and behavioural “moves” between two or more people.
		It can be observed that the Karpman Drama Triangle works at both the social level, that is observable behaviour, and at the internal dynamic level, that is what a player feels inside.

		As my understanding of the Drama Triangle has expanded, so has my appreciation for this simple but powerfully accurate instrument.
		"Karpman named the three roles on the Drama Triangle as those of Persecutor, Rescuer and Victim.
		This is because when we decide to get off the triangle, we are often seen as persecutors by those still on it.

	The Drama Triangle: A 3-D Victim Consciousness Trap
		When you are not able to operate on internal power and still think in dualities, the Karpman or Drama Triangle appears.
		The Karpman Triangle involves family members rotating between Persecutor, Rescuer and Victim roles and happens when people split their life experiences into opposites of good/bad, all/nothing and always/never.
		We believe that the dynamics of the Drama Triangle represent dysfunctional attempts to become emotionally separate from your parents that should have happened between two to three years of age.

		By understanding the roles designated in the Triangle, the way they interact, and the rules that snare you in the Triangle, you can learn to avoid becoming entangled in it and the drama it precipitates.
		The Triangle is based on blame and guilt and is put into operation whenever any type of lie or denial occurs.
		The Victim position is the key role in the Triangle because it is the position around which the others revolve.

	Avoid or dissolve family relationship "triangles" - p. 1 of 2
		In 1968, Dr. Steven Karpman proposed an idea he called the "Persecutor - Victim - Rescuer (PVR) Drama Triangle." Clinician-authors Murray Bowen, Eric Berne, and Claude Steiner popularized that by alerting students and clients to a stressful relationship dynamic called triangling.
		Avoiding or spotting and dissolving P-V-R triangles is a key part of patiently growing high-nurturance relationships.
		Triangles always involve one or more of the three players appearing to feel "1-up" - like "My ideas, values, needs are better than and/or more important to me than yours, right now." In the example above, the Victim receives a hurtful "You're 1-down" R-message from the "1-up" Persecutor.

	Infinite Connections with Dr. Sandy Sela-Smith
		The Karpman (1968) codependent “drama triangle” depicts a relationship between two or more participants in codependency.
		Quigley (1989) pointed out that the unseen side of the rescuer is a shadow victim who believes he or she must rescue someone in order to feel valued.
		According to Weinhold and Weinhold (1989) the role participants take in the “drama triangle” may shift a multitude of times during a single incident.

	NEUROPSYCHOBIOLOCY OF ADDICTION, TRAUMA AND DISSOCIATION
		Concepts derived from basic research into the disease model of addiction suggest addiction is the result of a genetic predisposition, environmental cueing, and behavioral sensitization which sets up conditioned neurophysiological-affective and cognitive-behavioral patterns of responsivity.
		MPDs often unconsciously recreate, reenact and repeat traumatic situations from the past again and again; one of the explanations of traumatic reenactment comes from the Karpman Drama Triangle (41) which envisions the alcoholic family system as a triangle of persecutor, victim and rescuer.
		Patients with MPD recreate this abuse triangle with personalities that fall into the three categories (42).

	Book1 cont1
		Karpman emphasizes that it is the fluidity of the drama triangle that has us move quickly from one position to another, whether we enter from the Persecutor, Rescuer or Victim position.
		Karpman says that when we decide to enter the drama triangle selectively, in that 10% when it is appropriate, we can avoid being the Victim.
		Since thinking is poor during the drama itself, this question will be more useful to the receiving partner when they are at least temporarily removed from the drama.

		From this, came what was to be known as the Karpman Triangle, a concept used widely in all kinds of therapy, particularly Family, Couple and Mediation.
		The current article here is designed to help people understand the basics of the Triangle and then progress onto a new concept that transforms the triangle into a positively oriented direction for survivors.

	self esteem course: 9. the barriers to self-esteem
		In participating in this triangle, we are, perhaps surprisingly, expressing hostility: our generosity is not freely given but contingent upon some reciprocal gratitude; we demonstrate what a superior, nice person we are which also demonstrates a covert disrespect for others (see "To, For and With").
		It is possible to do someone a favor without all this drama, but if you get yourself into a Karpman triangle, that is, start feeling abused and angry, look carefully at what you've been doing --the person you've been doing the favor for is you, not the other person.
		Doing someone a favor in the mode of the drama triangle is a hostile act toward the other.

		Stephen Karpman invented the drama triangle to give people a tool for realizing when they are engaged in an ineffective series of communications.
		He identified the three corners of the triangle as persecutor, rescuer, and victim, with victim at the bottom, because the ineffective dance around the triangle will go on only as long as someone is willing to be victimized.
		These ways of getting off the drama triangle were first identified by Gail Nordeman.

		Karpman’s original premise was based on the Transactional Analysis model as proposed by Eric Berne in the 50’s.
		Another way of looking at the Karpman Drama Triangle using the OK Corral by Eric Bern 1 I - U + Get away from 2 I + U+ Get on with 3 U- Get nowhere with 4 I + U — Get rid of The Rescuer position is depicted by Quadrant (3).
		This is not immediately obvious: however it may be seen that the Rescuer very often has low self esteem and since they do not wish to connect with their own vulnerability, they take care of another whom they see as vulnerable - a victim, hence the I’m Not Ok You’re Not OK (I- U-) position.

		This pattern is called the Karpman Drama Triangle, based on the work and observations of Stephen B. Karpman.
		The pattern is that we rescue people from their responsibilities, and then we feel victimized, and then we persecute the other person!
		This dysfunctional dance, this Karpman Triangle, is so sneaky and so ambiguous that it is sometimes very hard to recognize and acknowledge.
