Parent Ego State
• A collection of pre-recorded, pre-judged, prejudiced codes for living.
• Decides, without reasoning, how to react to situations.
• Can be over-controlling and oppressive or life giving, supportive and tender.
![Page 6: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Overly Critical- Critical parent
• Loving and nurturing the child- Nurturing parent
![Page 7: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Adult Ego State
• Has no emotions – able to detach from feelings.
• Logical.
![Page 8: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Contamination
• When the Adult uses information which has its source in the Child or in the Parent and which may be incorrect.
• Prejudice.

Voices in the head!!
• Parental Tapes being played over in our minds.
• They may be good or bad depending on which parent’s tapes we are playing.
![Page 10: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Critical parent is opposed to natural child.
• Nurturing parent is supportive to natural child.
• Critical parent activates the Adapted Child.
• It is possible to fight your Critical Parent(also called Pig Parent).

STROKES
• The recognition that one person gives to another
• Essential to a person's life
• Can vary from actual physical touch to praise
![Page 13: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
MOST OF US SUFFER FROM STROKE HUNGER!!!!!!
![Page 14: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Positive Strokes- “I love you”, “ you did a good job”- Warm Fuzzies
• Negative Strokes- “I hate you”- cold Pricklies.
• When positive strokes are not given, we look for negative strokes rather than be without strokes at all!!
![Page 15: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• We should learn to open our hearts and ask for strokes.
• It makes life easier.
![Page 16: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
There are five ways people can structure their time to get strokes:
![Page 17: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
RITUALS, PASTIMES, GAMES, INTIMACY, WORK
![Page 18: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RITUAL
• A pre-set exchange of recognition strokes.
• "Hi!" “How are you?" "Fine, thanks." "Well, see you around. Bye!"
• This is a four-stroke ritual.
![Page 19: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PASTIME
• A pre-set conversation around a certain subject.
• Pastimes are most evident at cocktail parties and family get-together.
![Page 20: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Games
• Repetitive, devious series of transactions intended to get strokes.
• Unfortunately, the strokes obtained in games are mostly negative.
• A game is a failed method of getting strokes.
![Page 21: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Intimacy
• A direct and powerful exchange of strokes which people crave but seldom attain
• The Child is frightened away from it by hurtful experiences.
![Page 22: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Work
• An activity which has a product as its result.
• Good work results in the exchange of strokes as a side effect.
![Page 23: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
TRANSACTIONS
• Transactions occur when any person relates to any other person.
• The three types of transactions: COMPLEMENTARY,CROSSED & COVERT.
• Every transaction is made up of a stimulus and response.
![Page 24: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Complementary Transaction
• between Adult and Adult
• Parent to Child
• Parent to Parent
![Page 25: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Communication can continue between ego states as long as trans-actions are parallel.
• Whenever a disruption of communication occurs, a crossed transaction caused it.
![Page 26: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cross Transaction
• When three or more ego states are involved
• The transactional response is addressed to an ego state different from the one which started the stimulus
• They disrupt communication.
![Page 27: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Discount Transaction
• One very important kind of crossed transaction
• Here one person completely disregards what the other one is saying.
• Discounts are not always obvious but are always unpleasant
![Page 28: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Covert Transactions • A covert transaction is when people say
one thing and mean another.
• Are the basis of games and are especially interesting because they are crooked.
• They have a social (overt) and a psychological (covert) level.
![Page 29: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
WHY DON’T YOU, YES BUT (YDYB,) RAPO, AND THEIR PAYOFFS.

PAYOFFS OF GAMES
• The biological pay-off is strokes
• The social pay-off of a game is time-structuring.
• The existential pay-off of a game is the way in which the game confirms the existential position of each player.
![Page 31: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RACKETS & STAMPS
• People collect psychological trading stamps to be traded in for a divorce, a suicide, a drug binge or a blow-up.

ROLES & DEGREES

SCRIPT CHECKLIST
• Life course. What short sentence best describes the person's life?
• Counterscript. This is a period of life dominated by the Parent. What does the person do when he seems to be escaping the life-course?
![Page 36: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Parental Injunction. In what way did the Child in mother and father interfere with the person's OK-ness?
• The Game. Every script is based on a major game
• The Pastime. How does a person structure most of their spare time with others?
![Page 37: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The Tragic Ending
• Extremist, self-destructive scripts.
• Banal scripts.
![Page 38: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Therapist's Role.
• A good therapist is aware of roles and how to avoid them.
![Page 39: TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56813521550346895d9c855c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
GOOD AND BAD GAMES and SCRIPTS
• Even though games are crooked they can sometimes be useful.
• Certain scripts may have socially redeeming features
