Abstract
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.
