The Empowerment Dynamic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Empowerment Dynamic (TED) stands as an alternative to The
Drama Triangle. The drama triangle is a psychological and social model
of human interaction in transactional analysis (TA) first described by
Stephen Karpman in 1968. The drama triangle is used in psychology
and psychotherapy to describe the insidious way in which victims,
persecutors, and rescuers get caught in a cycle that is hard to escape.

problem for them. This dynamic is cyclical and repeats as one problem

the Victim shifts into the role of Creator. The Persecutor takes on the
role of Challenger, and the Rescuer assumes the new role of Coach. A
Creator is someone who stops to think about what they want - what
their long-term goal or vision is. Creators are outcome-oriented as
