Black Sheep

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Sheep may refer to:

  • Black sheep (psychology), a psychology description of the member of a rigidly triangulated family triangulation (psychology) who holds the rest tightly together by being identified as the bad/sick/deviant one who causes all the family problems. The rule enforcer in the family is charged with the job of controlling the black sheep from spilling the family secrets - which often involve incest or alcoholism. Ins short, the black sheep, in psychology, IS an outsider, but only because he/she is a teller of truth. Surely there is already a topic page on this, but I can't find it.
