I. Dyad

A dyad consists of two interacting people.

It is the simplest of the three interpersonal dynamics.

One person relays a message & the other listen.

It is one of the most unstable interpersonal dynamic. The interaction ends when one constituent of the dyad refuses to listen or share his or her message.

It is also one of the most intimate interpersonal dynamic as the focus of listening & communication is centered on only one person.

A triad consists of three interaction people.

The members engage in the relay & reception of thoughts & ideas.

The johari window model is a simple & useful tool for illustrating & improving self-awareness & mutual understanding between individuals within a group.

The johari window terminology refers to self & others.

Self refers to the person subject to the Johari window analysis & others refers to other people in the person’s group or team.

www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in 38

Page 39: Interpersonal relationships

The johari window model was devised by American psychologist, Joseph Luft & Harry Ingham, in 1955.

The model was first published in proceedings of the Western Training Laboratory in Group Development by UCLA extension Office in 1955.

The open or public self The unknowing self

The Private self The unknown self

Page 42: Interpersonal relationships

The upper left quadrant of the window represents the part of the self that is public; that is, aspect of the self about which both the individual & others are aware.

Page 43: Interpersonal relationships

Examples:

Susan, a nurse who is the adult child of an alcoholic, has strong feelings about helping alcoholics to achieve sobriety. She volunteers her time to be a support person on call to help recovering alcoholics. She is aware of her feelings & her desire to help others. Members of the alcoholics Anonymous group in which the volunteers her time are also aware of Susan’s feelings & they feel comfortable calling her when they need help refraining from drinking.

Page 44: Interpersonal relationships

The upper right (blind) quadrant of the window represents the part of the self that is known to others but remains hidden from the awareness of the individual.

Page 45: Interpersonal relationships

Examples:

When susan takes care of patients in detox, she does so without emotion, tending to the technical aspects of the task in a way that the clients perceive as cold & judgmental. She is unaware that she comes across to the clients in this way.

Page 46: Interpersonal relationships

The lower left quadrant of the window represents the part of the self that is known to the individual, but which the individual deliberately & consciously conceals from others.

Page 47: Interpersonal relationships

Example:

Susan would prefer not to take care of the client in detox because doing so provokes painful memories from her childhood. Because she does not want the other staff members to known about these feelings, however, she volunteers to take care of the detox client whenever they are assigned to her unit.

Page 48: Interpersonal relationships

The lower right quadrant of the window represent the part of the self that is unknown to both the individual & to others.

Page 49: Interpersonal relationships

Example:

Susan felt very powerless as a child growing up with an alcoholic father. She seldom knew in what condition she would find her father or what his behavior would be. She learned over her life situation, & left home as soon as she graduated from high school. The need to stay in control has always been very important to susan , & she is unaware that working with recovering alcoholics helps to fulfill this need in her. The people she is helping are also unaware that susan is satisfying an unfulfilled personal need as she provides them with assistance.
