I'm OK - You're OK
Strokes
Berne observed that people need strokes, the units of interpersonal recognition, to survive
and thrive. Understanding how people give and receive positive and negative strokes and
changing unhealthy patterns of stroking are powerful aspects of work in transactional
analysis.
Ego States
Transactions
Life Script
Eric Berne proposed that dysfunctional behavior is the result of self-limiting decisions
made in childhood in the interest of survival. Such decisions culminate in what Berne
called the "life script," the pre-conscious life plan that governs the way life is lived out.
Changing the life script is the aim of transactional analysis psychotherapy. Replacing
violent organizational or societal scripting with cooperative non-violent behavior is the
aim of other applications of transactional analysis.
Contracts
Transactional Analysis
Psychotherapy
Counseling
Counselors who utilize transactional analysis work contractually on solving "here and
now" problems. Counseling work focuses on creating productive problem solving
behaviors. Using transactional analysis, counselor's establish an egalitarian, safe and
mutually respectful working relationship with their clients. This working relationship
provides tools clients can utilize in their day-to-day functions to improve the quality of
their lives.
Educational
Educational TA is both preventive and restorative. TA concepts are developed and used
with people of all ages and stages of development in their various social settings. The aim
is to increase personal autonomy, to support people in developing their own personal and
professional philosophies and to enable optimum psychological health and growth.
The process of educational TA is contractual, so that all parties know where they stand,
and what agreements have been made for what purposes. Throughout the process the
ideas and methods of TA are used openly to promote informed co-operation and the
sharing of power between all parties.
