Codependent Triangle (Please see below)
Melody Beattie's "Codependent Triangle" model illustrates the dynamics in codependent relationships, featuring three roles: Rescuer, Victim, and Persecutor. The Rescuer feels a compulsive need to help, often neglecting their own needs, while the Victim depends on others, avoiding personal responsibility. The Persecutor, acting controlling or abusive, often masks their insecurities. This model highlights the unhealthy patterns and emotional dysfunctions in codependent relationships, relevant to understanding addiction and dependency interactions. For more details, Melody Beattie's writings provide extensive insights into these dynamics.
