The Drama Triangle, developed by Dr. Stephen Karpman, is a social model that describes three habitual roles people play in stressful or conflict situations1. These roles are:

"The Drama Triangle is a model of dysfunctional social interaction. Each player in the triangle has their own beliefs and behaviors that reinforce the problem rather than resolve it." - Dr. Stephen Karpman

"The Empowerment Dynamic offers an antidote to the Drama Triangle. It's about moving from a reactive stance to a creative orientation." - David Emerald

"The quality of our lives depends not on whether or not we have conflicts, but on how we respond to them." - Thomas Crum
