2. It is one of the most acceptable theories of
psychology.
It is a method to improve the communication.
It is developed bye Dr Eric Berne during
1950s.
It has wide application in clinical therapeutic
and personal development.
3. The unit of social intercourse is called a
transaction.
If two or more people encounter each other
sooner or later one of them will speak this is
called transactional stimulus
The other one is called the transactional
response
4. Ego state : “The consistent pattern of feeling
and experience directly related to a
corresponding consistent pattern of
behavior.”
Berne defined the three ego states as
1. Parent
2. Child
3. Adult
5. In parent ego stage people will treat others
like children.
This is a role where people becomes
authoritative , caring , controlling and some
times bossy.
Means people are often in parent like roles.
6. A state in which people behave, feel, and
think similarly to how they did in childhood.
Child ego stage behave liberally of fun, -love
and care free behaviour.
Everything the child saw the parents do and
everything he heard from them is recorded
straight without editing.
7. Oriented towards current reality and objectivity
gathering of information.
Data processing centre this is a role of care, concern,
respect, responsibility and maturity.
We can describe the adult as a data processing
computer, which grinds out the decision after
computing the information from three sources such
as parent, child and the data which he gathered.
8. 1.Complementary transaction
Here we are expecting a response or there is
Interaction, response , actions regarded as
appropriate and expected from another
person.
Here the communication is
continuous.
It means there is a response
for the transaction stimuli.
9. 2. Crossed transaction
Here we are not expecting the response for
the stimuli. And the action or response are
not regarded as appropriate.
In this the communication is breakdown.
10. 3.Ulterior transaction
When a transaction has a hidden meaning that
is termed as ulterior transaction.
The ulterior / hidden message is more
important for the sender.
These transactions are the most difficult to
identify and deal with.
11. Life positions are the basic belief about self
and others
It is used to justify decision and behavior.
We choose a basic position towards ourselves
and other people
Our life position is like a set of glasses through
which we see the world
12. OK corral by Franklin Ernst
I am ok You are ok
(Healthy position)
I am not ok you are ok
(Depressive position)
I am ok you are not ok
(Paranoid position)
I am not okYou are not ok
(helpless position or futile
position)
13. I am ok, you are ok:
“Means I am ok with myself and with you too”
I am ok, you are not ok:
“I am ok but I cant relay on or trust you.”
Because I feel something wrong with other people
I am not ok , you are ok
“There is something fundamentally wrong with me but
everybody else is ok”
I am not ok, you are not ok
“There is something wrong with me and other people
are wrong in some way too”
14. In transactional analysis, a person’s life is
compared to a play and script is the text of
that play.
A person’s life script is plan of life which is
made unconsciously in childhood which is
further reinforced by others, environmental
events & finally finish in a selected behavioral
pattern
Parental teaching & decision that we make
early in life develops our life script.
15. Stroke means to recognize someone or any person by
looks, smile, touch and speaking.
Any person that does something to recognize the
presence of others is called stroking.
Strokes are of two types.
1. Positive stroke
2. Negative stroke
We start getting strokes from our childhood.
17. Positive stroke may be in the form of praise complements
or smiles.
They contributes to a person’s sense of OK.
Negative stroke may be such as critical commands,
avoidance, punishments, or hateful remarks.
Positive conditional and unconditional stroke and like wise
negative conditional and un conditional stroke are there
18. Positive conditional.
There is a condition imposed.
Person is thus appreciated for doing that. So he is
receiving the conditional positive stroke.
Positive unconditional
There is no condition.The person is appreciated for
being not for doing.
Parents love their children unconditionally
19. Negative conditional stroke
The person is scolded or criticized for not fulfilling
the conditions.
Negative unconditional stroke
If a person get scolded for no reason then he is
receiving the negative unconditional stroke
3. Neutral or indifference stroke
You are ignoring a person totally and act as if he
does not exist.
It is an extremely cruel form of mental punishment.
