2. WHAT IS LIFE POSITIONS?
THE LIFE POSITIONS REFERS TO THE SPECIFIC BEHAVIOR TOWARDS OTHERS
THAT AN INDIVIDUAL LEARNS ON THE BASIS OF CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS MADE
VERY EARLY IN THE LIFE.

3. CONCEPT
THE CONCEPT OF LIFE POSITIONS IS ANOTHER BASIC IDEA FROM TRANSNATIONAL ANALYSIS
THEORY. LIFE POSITIONS WORKS WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT WE CHOOSE VERY EARLY ON
IN OUR LIFE, BEFORE AGE TWO, A BASIC STANCE TOWARDS OURSELVES AND OTHER PEOPLE.
LIFE POSITIONS REPRESENTS THE FUNDAMENTAL STANCE A PERSON TAKES ABOUT THE
ESSENTIAL VALUE HE OR SHE PERCEIVES IN HIM OR HERSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE.

4. THE LIFE POSITIONS CAN BE CATEGORIZED AS
FOLLOWS:

5. 1. I AM O.K., YOU ARE O.K.: THIS LIFE POSITION
SHOWS THAT AN INDIVIDUAL HAS SEVERAL O.K.
EXPERIENCES WITH OTHERS. THIS MEANS, AN
INDIVIDUAL ENCOUNTERED NO SEVERE
PROBLEMS OR ISSUES WITH OTHERS IN HIS
CHILDHOOD AND HAD A NORMAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH THEM. PEOPLE WITH SUCH LIFE POSITIONS
ABOUT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS AROUND HIM
CAN SOLVE ANY PROBLEM VERY EASILY AND
REALIZES THE SIGNIFICANCE OF OTHERS BEING
IN HIS LIFE. THIS POSITION IS BASED ON THE
ADULT EGO.

6. 2. I AM O.K., YOU ARE NOT O.K.: THIS LIFE
POSITION IS CREATED WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL
WAS TOO MUCH IGNORED WHEN HE WAS A
CHILD. HERE, AN INDIVIDUAL BELIEVES THAT
HE IS RIGHT, AND ALL THE OTHERS AROUND
HIM ARE WRONG. THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUAL
WHO POSSESSES THE REBELLION CHILD EGO
AND PUT BLAME ON OTHERS FOR ANYTHING
THAT GOES WRONG WITH THEM.

7. 3. I AM NOT O.K., YOU ARE O.K.: THIS LIFE
POSITION GETS CREATED WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL
FEELS THAT OTHERS DO THINGS BETTER THAN
HIM. HE FEELS INFERIOR TO OTHERS AND
BELIEVES THAT OTHERS CAN DO MANY THINGS
WHICH HE CANNOT DO BY HIMSELF. THESE
KINDS OF PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT
ONE THING OR THE OTHER AND REMAIN HIGHLY
DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR LIVES.

8. 4. I AM NOT O.K., YOU ARE NOT O.K.: THIS
KIND OF LIFE POSITION IS CREATED BY
THOSE WHO LACKS INTEREST IN LIVING.
THEY FEEL LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING AND
ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED
BY THEIR PARENTS IN THEIR CHILDHOOD
AND WERE BROUGHT UP BY THE SERVANTS.
SUCH KIND OF PEOPLE COMMITS SUICIDE OR
HOMICIDE TO END THEIR LIVES.
