Secondary GainSecondary Gain is any covert advantage that is not directly related to the professed desired outcome. Secondary gain is not consciously known by the person; but motivates their behaviour all the same, often in a self-destructive way. An common example of secondary gain is attention; a person desirous of attention might intentionally make some mistake that draws attention to themselves, such as a pratfall. Whenever a psychologist witnesses self-destructive behavior, they consider what secondary gains might motivate it. Secondary gain is a term popularised by Hypnotherapy and NLP.
