This article describes a method of diagramming personality types based on a pictorial representation of Ware's (1983) concept of doors to therapy. The concept of doors is developed as a means for conducting therapy most effectively, and a treatment strategy is suggested that indicates the most favorable ego states for a therapist to use in making contact with a client at each point on the Therapy Triangle. An example shows the use of the Therapy Triangle in the initial interview.
