Summary
Stephen Karpman: Living without games Drama triangle in interpersonal relationships
Stephen Karpman, an American psychotherapist, distinguished transactional analyst and associate of Eric Bern, gained worldwide fame in 1968 when he defined the concept of the drama triangle for analyzing the dynamics of interpersonal relationships between the roles of victim, persecutor and rescuer. Knowing this concept, as one of the most powerful concepts of transactional analysis, is very valuable because it helps us to better orient ourselves among people, to see how we are invited to enter different roles and to avoid it when it does not suit us. Why are there three main roles in the Games: Persecutor, Savior and Victim? What is Karpman's happiness formula for life without the Games? How do our ideas of good and evil create dramatic triangles? What games do we play in love or about the romantic triangle. How do people use drama in a relationship on a daily basis? What constitutes the psychological dynamics of drama in relationships? What is the triangle of compassion and what is the triangle of attraction? What are the three steps to leaving the Triangle and the games? How to build trust and achieve closeness? Karpman's triangle is one of the most powerful concepts of transactional analysis because it raises emotional, social and even political intelligence. dr.
