How decisions relate to injunctions?
We have emphasized
that a parent’s injunction
cannot make the child
write her script in a
particular way. It is the
child who decides what
to do with the injunction
she receives.
How decisions relate to injunctions?
One child may accept an
injunction as it stands.
Another may modify it
ingeniously to ease its
impact. Still another may
simply refuse to accept
the injunction at all.
How decisions relate to injunctions?Another possibility is that the child may make a magical early decision to shift the impact of Don’t exist by deciding to kill someone else instead of killing himself. This results in a harmatic script in which the payoff is homicide instead of suicide.

Alternatively, the magical
belief may be of the form
: “If I can stop existing as
a sane person, maybe I
wont actually have to
die.” This gives the script
the harmatic payoff of
“go crazy”.
How decisions relate to injunctions?
At the other extreme from
these tragic decisions, the
infant may already be able to
realize: “ This message is my
mother’s problem, not
mine” and thus reject the
don’t exist injunction
altogether.

Children who do this may, in
the Gouldings words, “…
become little psychiatrists or
priests, as they study the
family and attempt to cure
it, while saving their own
lives by recognizing the
pathology is not of their
doing.”
How decisions relate to injunctions?The child always have the option of turning an injunction around in this way to create positive instead of negative outcomes. For instance, a little boy who gets “ Don’t be the sex you are” may grow into a man rich in positive qualities that are conventionally pictured as feminine – sensitivity, physical warmth, openness to feelings.
How decisions relate to injunctions?Another way to avoiding the impact of injunctions is to make compound decisions. This means that the child uses little professor ingenuity in combining different script messages, with the objective of staying alive and getting her needs met as well as she can.
How decisions relate to injunctions?These compound decisions come up frequently in script analysis, and are important in understanding how the script works. Practical experience suggests that Don’t exist is the message most often defended against.
