PERMISSIONS. Please use the email link at left to get written permission. I will prefer that the standard triangle be drawn equilaterally and not flattened across the top (for theoretical reasons), with the Victim point down for theoretical reasons and continuity; my name and title (M.D. not Ph.D.) spelled correctly and the Drama Triangle not attributed to others. In our email exchange I will ask to see the text and the diagram to be used and how it will be used. Feedback with the author is welcome. Thank you.
