Triadic Restructuring (TR) is the Triadic-relational configurations Substrate
Contents
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:
The function of triadic restructuring is to enhance the self-other differentiation in a dyadic configuration where there is a lack of intimacy and closeness, or an avoidance of conflict that results in the necessity for a third party to stabilize this configuration (Guerin et al., 1996, p. 56).[1]
Goals of Restructuring:
The goal of triadic restructuring is to alter the processes that occur in three-person configurations which can be depicted as triads.
- 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
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
- Enactment: key moments in treatment that involve three person interactions that are typical yet can be used to intervene to create new possibilities
