Transactional analysts regard people as basically &#8220;OK&#8221; and thus capable of change, growth, and healthy interactions. Strokes Berne observed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TA identifies twelve key injunctions which people commonly build into their scripts. These are injunctions in the sense of being powerful &#8220;I can&#8217;t/mustn&#8217;t &#8230;&#8221; messages that embed into a child&#8217;s belief and life-script: Don&#8217;t be (don&#8217;t exist), Don&#8217;t be who you are, Don&#8217;t be a child, Don&#8217;t grow up, Don&#8217;t make it in your life, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Redefining means the distortion of reality when we deliberately (but unconsciously) distort things to match our preferred way of seeing the world. Thus a person whose script involves &#8220;struggling alone against a cold hard world&#8221; may redefine others&#8217; kindness, concluding that others are trying to get something by manipulation. Discounting means to take something as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Script is a life plan, directed to a reward. Script is decisional and responsive; i.e., decided upon in childhood in response to perceptions of the world and as a means of living with and making sense of the world. It is not just thrust upon a person by external forces. Script is reinforced by parents [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another class of transaction is the &#8216;duplex&#8217; or &#8216;covert&#8217; transactions, where the explicit social conversation occurs in parallel with an implicit psychological transaction. For instance, A:  &#8220;I need you to stay late at the office with me.&#8221; (Adult words) body language indicates sexual intent (flirtatious Child) B:  &#8220;Of course.&#8221;  (Adult response to Adult statement). winking [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Communication failures are typically caused by a &#8216;crossed transaction&#8217; where partners address ego states other than that their partner is in. Consider the above examples jumbled up a bit. Example 1a: A:  &#8220;Have you been able to write that report?&#8221; (Adult to Adult) B:  &#8220;Will you stop hassling me? I&#8217;ll do it eventually!&#8221; (Child to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A simple, reciprocal transaction occurs when both partners are addressing the ego state the other is in. These are also called complementary transactions. Example 1 A:  &#8220;Have you been able to write the report?&#8221; B:  &#8220;Yes &#8211; I&#8217;m about to email it to you.&#8221;  &#8212;- (This exchange was Adult to Adult) Example 2 A:  &#8220;Would [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At any given time, a person experiences and manifests their personality through a mixture of behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Typically, according to TA, there are three ego-states that people consistently use: Parent (&#8220;exteropsyche&#8221;): a state in which people behave, feel, and think in response to an unconscious mimicking of how their parents (or other parental [...]]]></description>
