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.

third members may act as a mediator
when there is conflict between the other
two.

Friendship
Theories of friendship emphasize the concept
as a freely chosen association where
individuals develop a common ground of
thinking & behaving when they enter into the
relationship by including mutual love, trust,
respect & unconditional acceptance for each
other.
Friendship is a relationship with no formalities
& the individuals enjoy each other’s presence.

Family and kinship
Family communication patterns establish
roles & identify & enable personal & social
growth of individuals.
Family relationships can get distorted if there
is an unresolved conflict between members.
Most of the time, a significant family member
senses other family members have significant
emotional difficulties but fails to bring them
out unless the physician or nurse enquires .

organization, associations, societies,
etc.) may be termed as a brotherhood
or a sisterhood.
In this relationship, individuals are
committed to doing good deeds for
fellow members & people.

Acquaintances
An acquaintance is a relationship where
someone is simply known to someone by

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
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 Johari window model represents self-
awareness of an individual towards himself or
herself, & later on become a widely used model
for self-development by helping the person
understand & learn about improvement of
communication skills & IPRs
www.drjayeshpatidar.blogspot.in 39
Known to self Unknown to self
Known to
The open or public self The unknowing self
others
Unknown to
others The Private self The unknown self
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The lower right quadrant of the
window represent the part of the self
that is unknown to both the individual
& to others.
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.

empathy, cooperation, inter-group development
& interpersonal development.
• It can also be used to improve an individual’s

• The model is a simple & useful tool for illustrating
& improving self-awareness & mutual
understanding between individuals in a group.
• The Johari model can also be used to assess &
improving self-awareness & mutual understanding
between individuals in a group.
• The johari window actually represents information –
feelings, experiences, views attitudes, skills,
intentions, motivation, etc. - within or about a
person in relation to their group from four
perspectives.
• The johari window provides a useful way to
graphically visualize the process of self-disclosure.
