What if your replaced Berne with the Drama Triangle (Villian, Hero, Victim)?

Good suggestion, Duncan. Karpman studied under Berne of course. I think the drama triangle offers an interesting perspective on people in conflict whereas I was trying to describe asymmetry in everyday dialectic. Karpman deserves a post though, thanks for the nudge.
