The Miniscript (Kahler & Capers, 1974) has proven to be a valuable tool in the analysis and treatment of individual stress and interpersonal relationships. This article provides the reader with a different perspective on the Miniscript.

Emphasis is placed on the survival aspect of the NOT OK Miniscript. There are changes in language to identify this emphasis. The diagram has been changed from a triangle to a set of stairs which in the authors' experiences clarifies the sequential pattern. This new diagram is labeled The Survival Stairs.

The OK Miniscript diagram is also changed from a triangle to a set of stairs, with a change in name to The Living Stairs. This part of the article places emphasis on treatment.
