In this paper five countertransference reactions, which may be experienced by workers on child abuse management teams, are described. Karpman's Drama Triangle is used as a framework within which to define these reactions. The reactions are: (i) rescuing the child; (2) rescuing the parents; (3) rescuing the mother and child while persecuting the father; (4) rescuing the father; and (5) persecuting the family.
