INTRODUCTION
Transaction
Analysis : a theory for analysing
human behavior and communication.
Developed by Eric Berne.
Seeks to explain how each of us has
developed into the people we have become
by understanding everything around us.
A model for explaining why and how people think,
act and interact like they do
Contd
Some of the important
assumptions made by TA are :
Everyone is born ok.
Each person has a right to be in
this world and to be accepted as
they are.
Everyone is responsible for
PARENT EGO STATE
Thoughts,
feelings, attitudes and behavioral patterns based on
lessons learned from parents and other parental sources
Parent ego state can be divided into two types: the Nurturing
Parent ego state and the Critical Parent Ego state
The
Nurturing Parent ego state includes the nurturing side and can
be soft, loving, and permission giving.
The
Critical Parent. (also sometimes called the Prejudiced Parent)
includes part of our personality contains the prejudged
thoughts,feelings and beliefs that we learned from our parents.
Values
of the parent ego state : Condemning, Moralistic, Supportive,
Encouraging, Judgmental, Nurturing and Critical.
CHILD EGO STATE
Thoughts, feelings, attitudes and
behavioral patterns based on
child like emotions
Divided into two parts : Free child
ego state( known as Natural
child) and Adaptive child ego
state(includes Rebellious child
ego state)
Free child : spontaneous feeling
and behavior.
Contd..
Adaptive child : Experience and parental
influence on behavior
Part of the personality that has learned to
comply with the parental messages received
while growing up.
Rebellious Child ego state: Sometimes when
faced with parental messages that are
restricting, instead of complying with them,
we rebel against them.
Values of child ego state : Selfish, Mean,
Playful, Affectionate, Whining, Manipulative
and Curious, Impulsive, Pleasure seeking,
Angry, Happy and Self centered.
ADULT
EGO STATE
Adult ego state is data processing center.
Partof our personality that can process data
accurately, that sees, hears, thinks, and can
come up with solutions to problems based on the
facts and not solely on our pre-judged thoughts or
childlike emotions.
Gives a person a measure of objectivity.
Canevaluate parental and child programming and
decide on what is all right and what needs to be
changed.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
INTERACTIONS :
Three basic types of interactions :
Complementary, Crossed and Ulterior.
Complementary:
When a transaction gets the expected
response from a specific ego state in the
other person.
The lines of transactions are kept open
between the transactors.
Eg. Do you know where the xray is?
It seems to be temporarily misplaced. I
have a tracer in it.
Contd
Crossed Transactions:
When a transaction gets an
unexpected response from an
unexpected ego state in the
other person.
Frequent source of resentment
between people.
Eg. Do you know where the xray
is?
It is right where you left it. Cant
Ulterior transactions
When a transaction has a hidden
message to it and it hooks the ego state
the hidden message was going for not
the one the overt message was aimed at.
The ulterior message is more important
to the sender than the overt message.
Eg.1)Do you know where the xray is?I
cant find anything when I need it.(Looks
Strokes
Defined as unit of human recognition.
Non verbal means of communication.
Can be a nod, a look, a smile, a touch.
Whenever a human being does something to
recognise another human being, it is called a
stroke.
Can be positive or negative.
Can be conditional or unconditional.
Conditional strokes given for what we do or what
we accomplish or the trait what we possess.
Unconditional stroke are negative strokes.
They convey that we are not ok.
Conclusion
We all have three ego states
programmed with different kinds
of behavior.
Awareness of ego states gives
more choices in your
communication patterns.
