An individual can recognize when they’re in this state because they exhibit self-talk like “you should have” or “you shouldn’t have”.

42
Q

46
Q

A

To help clients shift out of the Adaptive Child and back into the Adult state.

47
Q

Another way to illustrate or conceptualize ego states is through histograms.
The ideal distribution is the largest bar being the Adult state, and the states with the lowest bars are the Critical Parent and the Adaptive Child.

A

Nurturing Parent.

Q

What are 7 axioms of Adlerian psychotherapy?

A

1) All behavior is purposeful and goal-oriented.

3) Motivations may be on an unconscious level and may effectively hide a person’s goals from consciousness.
4) Behaviour and life-style are determined by and consistent with each person’s unique system of private logic.
5) Different behaviours comprise and reinforce the life-style, and the life-style in turn ostensibly substantiates one’s private logic.
6) Behaviours, life-style, and private logic - in concert as they must by definition be - can occlude a person’s awareness of alternative possibilities.
7) This lack of awareness confirms the private logic and leads to delusions and self-fulfilling prophecies.

54
Q
