The document discusses several key concepts in transactional analysis theory, including ego states, complementary transactions, crossed transactions, and ulterior transactions. It describes how ego states represent different aspects of personality - parent, adult, and child - and how transactions between people can be complementary when messages align with expected responses, or crossed when unexpected responses occur. Ulterior transactions involve hidden agendas where the spoken message activates one ego state but aims to elicit a response from another. Modern transactional analysis models the child ego state with four quadrants representing different tendencies. Overall, the document provides an overview of fundamental transactional analysis concepts and models.

Aim of Transactional Analysis
Psychotherapy
Aim of Transactional Analysis
Psychotherapy
1. To help a person to choose to be in a particular
inner state, instead of just allowing the current ego-
state to dominate feelings, attitudes and behavior.
2. Changing the Life Script
3. Replacing organizational or societal scripting with
cooperative non-violent behavior is the aim of other
applications of Transactional Analysis.

23. Complementary
transactions
• A complementary transaction
occurs when a message, sent
from a specific ego state, gets
the predicted response from a
specific ego state in the other
person.
• For example, if a wife who is
grieving her lost friend is
comforted by a sympathetic
husband, her momentary
dependency is answered
appropriately.

24. .. Crossed Transactions
A crossed transaction occurs when an unexpected
response is made to the stimulus. An inappropriate ego
state is activated, and the lines of communication between
people are crossed.
At this point people tend to withdraw, turn away from each
other or switch the conversation in another direction.
For example, Agent's Adult: "Do you know where my cuff
links are?" (note that this stimuli is directed at the
Respondents Adult).
Respondent's Child: "You always blame me for
everything!"

25. Crossed transactions are a frequent source of pain between people

26. Ulterior Transactions
Ulterior transactions are the most complex. They differ
from complementary and crossed transactions in that they
always involve two or more ego states.
Only one ego state controls the body; but another ego
state is operating in the background.
If a car salesman says to his customer, "This is our finest
sports car...but maybe too racy for you," he is sending a
message that can be heard by either the customer’s adult
or child ego state.
If the customer’s Adult hears, the response may be... "yes,
you’re right, considering the requirements of my job." If
the customer’s Child hears, the response may be "I’ll take
it. It’s just what I want."

27. Thus ulterior transactions help us to get the
desired response from the respondent.

31. Child
Child is now commonly represented as
circle with four quadrants:
Adapted - Co-operative (positive) and
Compliant/Resistant (negative).
Free - Spontaneous (positive) and Immature
(negative).
