l communication dynamic is so prevalent in Western society that it is virtually invisible. The authors identify the developmental, familial, social, religious, and cultural sources of this social game and how it plays out in different parts of our lives. They draw on their many years of professional experiences as psychologists, their work with individuals, couples, families; their work with businesses, and as international consultants. They present a simple, straight-forward framework for understanding, identifying, and breaking free of triangle dynamics and victim consciousness.
