The term denotes how common wealth tax supported resources such as public education, financial and legal infrastructure, etc. is translated into private or corporate profit.

The Empowerment Dynamic TED stands as an alternative to Karpman Drama Triangle The Drama Triangle . The drama triangle is a psychological and social model of human interaction in transactional analysis TA first described by Stephen Karpman in 1968. The drama triangle is used in psychology and psychotherapy to describe the insidious way in which victims, persecutors, and rescuers get caught in a cycle that is hard to escape. For many years, the key to escaping this triangle was thought to be awareness plus willpower. However, there was no clear alternative to the drama triangle. In 2005, David Emerald Womeldorff David Emerald aka Womeldorff published a short book called The Power of TED to provide a new model that offers an antidote to and escape from Karpman s drama triangle. TED involves three key roles that correspond to the roles found in the drama triangle. In the drama triangle, the major role is known as the Victim. The Victim is someone who sees life as happening to them and who feels powerless to change their circumstances. Victims place the blame for their status on a Persecutor, who can be a person or a situation. Being powerless, the Victim seeks a Rescuer to solve the problem for them. This dynamic is cyclical and repeats as one problem replaces another, creating a roller coaster effect of tension and relief in a person s life. These roles are intrinsic to the idea of Victimhood or, as David Emerald describes it, the Victim Orientation.

Unreferenced date July 2008 In linguistics , a grammatical patient , also called the target or undergoer, is the participant of a situation upon whom an action is carried out. A patient as differentiated from a theme must undergo a change in state. A theme is denoted by a stative verb , where a patient is denoted by a dynamic verb. At the very least, there is debate to this effect. Also, patient is the name of the thematic relation with the above definition. Typically, the situation is denoted by a Sentence linguistics sentence , the action by a verb in the sentence, and the agent by a noun phrase . For example, in the sentence Jack ate the cheese , the cheese is the patient. In certain languages, the patient is declension declined for grammatical case case or otherwise marked to indicate its grammatical role. In Japanese language Japanese , for instance, the patient is typically affixed with o the hiragana . Although English language Modern English does not mark grammatical role, patienthood is represented irregularly in other ways for instance, with the morpheme s en , ed , or ee , as in eaten , used , or payee . The grammatical patient is often confused with the direct object . However, there is a significant difference. The former is based explicitly on its relationship to the verb , whereas the latter is based primarily on its relationship to the subject grammar subject . For example, in the phrase The dog bites the man , the man is both the patient and the direct object. By contrast, in the phrase The man is bitten by the dog , the man is still the patient, but now stands as the phrase s subject while the dog is only the agent grammar agent .

A Patient Diary is a tool used during a clinical trial or a disease treatment to assess the patient s condition e.g. symptom severity, quality of life or to measure treatment compliance. An Electronic Patient Diary registers the data in a storage device and allows for automatically monitoring the time the entry was made. Frequent recording of symptoms using a diary helps to reduce recall bias. Electronic diaries ensure entries are made as scheduled, and not, for example, in a batch immediately before the clinic visit. Patient diaries are also way to find out if a patient takes the medication according to the treatment schedule, which is an important problem during clinical trials and the treatment of degenerative diseases with relatively few symptoms.
