The document presents a slideshow on the script matrix model in Transactional Analysis. It explains that children receive messages from the parent's three ego states (Parent, Adult, Child) which they file away in their own three ego states. These messages shape a person's script. Specifically, it notes that: 1) Messages from the parent's Parent ego state form a child's counterinjunctions, stored in their own Parent. 2) Modeling messages from the parent's Adult form the child's program, stored in their own Adult. 3) Messages from the parent's Child can be injunctions or permissions, stored in the child's own Child. The script matrix model, developing this

3. Script Matrix
• Your Mother and Father both
had their own parent, Adult
and Child ego states.
• They transmitted script
messages to you from all
three of these ego states.
• You received these messages
and filed them away in your
own three ego states.
• From this realization, Claude
Steiner developed what is
now one of the central model
of TA: the script matrix.

4. Script Matrix
Messages which
originate from mother’s
and father’s Parent ego
states are called
counter injunctions.
You file them away as a
part of the content of
your own parent.

5. Script Matrix
Modeling or “Here is
how” messages from
the Adult of the
parent to the Adult of
the child make up
what is called the
Program.

6. Script Matrix
Messages sent from the
Child ego state of
mother and father can
be of two kinds :
Injunctions and
permissions. We
picture these as being
filed away in the
content of your own
child ego state.
