We need to be open to the possibility that our responses to dysfunctional-behaviors can themselves be dysfunctional- behaviors --- which contribute to future additional dysfunctional-behaviors. If we do-not-see, cannot-see or refuse-to-see --- how ACTUAL EFFECTS of diverse patterns of dysfunctional-behaviors/responses are inter-connected --- it will be exceedingly difficult to learn-from- what-is-ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Collusive-games-of-mutual- self-deception can blind us --- so that we do-not-see, cannot-see, or refuse-to-see the ACTUAL EFFECTS of behaviors as connected to the dysfunctional-behavior; which is often viewed as "good" behavior by those who are engaged in it in self-righteous-and-arrogant dysfunctional ways --- even while responding to what is generally viewed as dysfunctional-behavior. One of the most important effects of any form of behavior is the effect it has on people's FUTURE abilities and dispositions to openly and honestly share what they have experienced through their interactions with others. Are the effects: Alienation?, Revulsion?, Pain?, Reconciliation?, Healing?, Pleasure?, Encouragement?, Learning?, Understanding?, Withdrawal?, Excommunication?, Acceptance?, Rejection? These effects pertain to both dysfunctional-behaviors --- which are generally recognized as such; and to efforts of "good-people" to respond in "correctional ways" to the initial dysfunctional-behaviors --- which are generally recognized as such. Rarely are the "correctional behaviors" recognized as dysfunctional- behaviors --- especially not by those who engage in them. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
