The reason is that it gives us a way of understanding why people behave in the way they do. We specially need this understanding when we are examining ways of behaving that seem on the face of it to be painful or self defeating.

3. Why script understanding is important?
• The reason is that it
gives us a way of
understanding why
people behave in the
way they do.
• We specially need this
understanding when we
are examining ways of
behaving that seem on
the face of it to be
painful or self defeating.

4. Why script understanding is important?
• We do things that are
uncomfortable to
reinforce and further
our script.
• When we are in script,
we cling on to infant
decisions.
• Without conscious
awareness, we seek to
set up the world so that
it appears to justify our
early decisions.

5. Why script understanding is important?
• When in script, we
attempt to meet adult
problems by replaying
child strategies.
• Necessarily, these bring
the same results as they
bough when we were
infants.
• When we get those
results, we say to
ourselves: “Yes, the world
is like I decided it was.”

6. Why script understanding is important?
• And each time we confirm
our script belief, we can take
a step closer to our script
payoff.
• For example, if I decided as a
baby that people will reject
me, I may further my life
plan as a grown up by
setting up to be rejected
again and again.
• I tick up another
confirmation that my closing
scene is a lonely death.
