Q

Transactional Analysis (Berne)

A

*messages learned about self in childhood determine whether person is good or bad, though intervention can change the script

Cognitive Model of Therapy

Personality=3 ego states
1. parent (values internalized from significant others in childhood-nurturing vs critical parent)
(the conscience/ego state concerned with moral behavior)
nurturing parent and critical parent

  1. adult (process facts with no focus on feelings)
  2. child (natural child- spontaneous, impulsive, creative/intuitive)
    natural child- spontaneous, impulsive
    little professor- curious, intuitive
    adapted child- knows how to comply

messages receive from parents to form ego states= injunctions

describing client using P-A-C conceptualization = structural analysis

healthy communication transactions occur when vectors of communication run parallel - get appropriate predicted responses

games = transaction with concealed motive

when a client manipulates others to experience a childhood/unpleasant feeling=racket
