Interaction styles and personality profiles were addressed in relationship to cooperative and reluctant expressions in behavior as identified in the Array Interaction Model. Inventories for self and for analyzing relationships to others were included for self-reflection and application to personal and family dynamics. Specific analogies were described with examples from the Disney characters of Winnie-the-Pooh, Rabbit, Tigger, and Eeyore. Theoretical foundations were presented with examples of therapeutic approaches to encourage personal development and bring out the best in self and others. Emphasis was placed on capitalizing individual strengths. Predicted stress responses and needs were identified for varying personality structures. Strategies focused on encouraging people to return to their cooperative responses for productive relationships and work. Implications were given for application to understanding self and others, valuing differences and learning to enjoy and experience life together.

Key Words: Winnie-the-Pooh • couples and family personality • understanding self and others • personality questionnaire • Array Interact on Model
