What is it about?

Children who express their unpleasant emotions with disruptive behavior instead of with words may be very difficult for parents, teachers, and psychotherapists. The RFP-C Triangle of Conflict is a visualization of how the child protects themselves from emotional pain. The Triangle can also help the psychotherapist understand how the child provokes counter-reactions in the psychotherapist. The Triangle becomes a useful aid for psychotherapy.
