This article is based on the premise that the field of education in general and educational transactional analysis in particular are geared toward prevention rather than cure. The author describes how fairy tales provide children with different relationship models, and it proposes a positive triangle of social roles in contrast to Karpman's (1968) drama triangle, which is based on life scripts and focuses on negative psychological roles. Depending on whether they are supported by a positive life position or not, social roles can lead to either personal growth and autonomy or negative scripty outcomes
