Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on June 14, 2005 by Al TurtleJune 16, 2019 4

I am presenting this paper as a discussion of dialogue norms to use in Power Differential Relationships. My goal is to re-approach One-up/One-down situations from the relational model, the dialogical model that is central to Imago Relationship theory and practice.
The paper is divided into three sections:

MASTER/SLAVE, Two World Problem: The Essay

Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on March 22, 2005 by Al TurtleMarch 22, 2020 20

Summary: This paper covers the two ways that people can come together and share (or not) their different views of reality. Relating via Master/Slave is only functional in certain situations: where efficiency is needed as in business, where property ownership is involved, in emergencies. Relating via Friend/Friend is normal during courtship. Master/Slave, commonly used in intimate relationships or families, is dysfunctional. Learn the critical skills of Friend/Friend to end argument and prevent fighting.  This is the first of three parts on Autonomy.

MasterTalk: Samples of Dealing with it.

Al Turtle's Relationship Wisdom Posted on March 12, 2005 by Al TurtleSeptember 12, 2013 5

I use these three terms (Master, Slave, Friend) to refer to the three positions from which and to which communication can be addressed. These are similar to the positions in Transactional Analysis of Parent, Child, and Adult. No one is a Master. They just speak, and perhaps think, from the Master position. No one is a Slave. They just speak from the Slave position.
MasterTalk seems extremely easy to identify in conversation and writing.
