Triadic Restructuring (TR) is the Triadic-relational configurations Substrate
Definition:
Triadic Restructuring (TR) is a method of restructuring or re-patterning that encompasses an array of techniques which occur in three-person and larger systems. Thus, TR utilizes techniques which alter process, structure, hierarchy, and function of triads and family systems at domain Level III (triadic-relational) of the total ecological system. Viewing the system using an increasingly macroscopic lens, TR techniques tend to focus on dyads which are unstable having engaged a third-person to stabilize the dyad. Whereas, DR is concerned with self-other configurations, TR emphasizes a dyad + another. These techniques are primarily derived from family systems approaches but may also be used individually. Triangular configurations may exist in multiple configurations, both generationally and muti-generationally.
Function:
- (a) stabilizing an unstable triangle:
- (b) displacing conflict,
- (c) avoiding intimacy in a dyad” (Guerin et al., 1996, p. 56).[1]
- Also, viewed by Fogarty (1979)[2] “as a short-circuiting mechanism that serves the purposes of avoiding discomfort with intimacy and of avoiding discomfort with facing conflictual issues (Guerin et al., 1996, p. 13).[3]
Goals of Restructuring:
- Subtypes of Triadic Restructuring:
- Relational Triadic Restructuring: focus on three-person relationships in vivo
- Symbolic-relational restructuring: focus on individual or dynamics in triad not physically present
Function: (a) stabilizing an unstable triangle: (b) displacing conflict, (c) avoiding intimacy in a dyad” (Guerin et al., 1996, p. 56).[1] Also, viewed by Fogarty (1979)[2] “as a short-circuiting mechanism that serves the purposes of avoiding discomfort with intimacy and of avoiding discomfort with facing conflictual issues (Guerin et al., 1996, p. 13).[3]
Methods & Techniques:
Subtypes of Triadic Restructuring:
- Relational Triadic Restructuring: focus on three-person relationships in vivo
- Symbolic-relational restructuring: focus on individual or dynamics in triad not physically present
