It is risky to become intimately involved with people
who engage in dichotomous thinking/relationships. If a
"good" relationship with them turns sour, it may become a
very "evil" relationship entailing alienation,
estrangement, abuse, coercion and violence. Dichotomous
thinkers seem unable to deal with smooth spectrums of
possibilities, and so are unable to deal with smooth
transitions --- choosing instead to turn spectrums into
either/or questions, answers, issues and conflicts. It is
dangerous to be on the "good" side of such people ---
because they may flip suddenly from considering you as a
"good" person into considering you as an "evil" person;
either/or.
Dichotomous thinkers tend to promote chaotic
relationships and catastrophic transitions. Some theorists
have dealt with related matters in "Catastrophe Theory"
which deals with sudden versus smooth transitions between
contrasting "conditions" and/or "states" of being ---
mapping similarities between them and the topologies of
surfaces in multi-dimensional spaces of two or more
independent variables.
