TRANSACTIONS - ADULT TO ADULT
Adult transactions are probably the shortest of the different
kinds of transactions in interpersonal relationships.
They have to do with “doing business” and to do with the
exchange of data, decisions, consequences, possibilities, and
what the next step will be when decisions are made.
The Adult questions are “who, what, where, why, when, and how
much”
After basic data about structure is gathered, then there are often
questions requesting information about values and feelings.
Sometimes the questions about values and feelings is the basic
data being gathered, that is:
“How do you feel about. . . ?”
“Why do you feel that way. . . ?”
“What experience(s) makes you believe that. . . ?”
“When did that happen to affect you that way. . . ?”
“Did you make a decision about what to do. . . ?” |
