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]

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
