TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS (TA) tells us that our
personality is made up of 3 basic parts called:
EGO-STATES
An ego-state is defined as a COHERENT
system of
thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Each ego-state has a characteristic set of TRAITS:
Ego-states are not good or bad. They exist as they are.
They come from genetic inheritance, & from social training.
They exist with two displays:
1. USEFUL & FUNCTIONAL
2. DIS-USEFUL & DIS-FUNCTIONAL
AND THEREFORE THEY CAN
INCREASE OR DECREASE
VALUE IN RELATIONSHIPS
