Deep dives
Understanding the Drama Triangle
The Drama Triangle concept, developed by Stephen Cartman in the 60s, explores the roles individuals take in conflicts: rescuer, persecutor, and victim. Each role represents learned responses to conditioning and is not a conscious choice. The rescuer seeks to help but can feel pressured to solve problems to avoid their own feelings. The persecutor criticizes and exerts power, while the victim feels disempowered and helpless in conflict situations.
