Observing Triangles
Robert J. Noone, PhD
This family case is an example of a young individual who, over time, becomes curious about family emotional involvement and begins to use theory to become freer to both be in contact with family and gain some objectivity about it. It is also an example of how gaining some objectivity and making the effort to have one-to-one relationships in the family can lead to change.
Keywords: differentiation of self, family diagram, triangles, one-to-one relationships, emotional objectivity
