Transactional Analysis • Three Basic Concepts: Parent, Adult and Child • Transactions: Among P, A and C • P < -- > P • A < -- > A • C < -- > C • There are 9 possible transactions
Transactional Basis • Ego- Realistic Principle • Super-Ego- Ethical Principle • Id – Pleasure Principle • The above are the three principles of Interaction
The Three Ego States • Child- “What shall I do?” • Adult- “I will be frank with you” • Parent- “Do as I do”
Combinations 1 • Child-Realistic Principle • Child-Ethical Principle • Child-Pleasure Principle.
Combinations 2 • Parent-Realistic Principle • Parent-Ethical Principle • Parent-Pleasure Principle.
Combinations 3 • Adult-Realistic Principle • Adult-Ethical Principle • Adult-Pleasure Principle.
We Are • Child • Adult • Parent in our Transactions. • Biological conditions are irrelevant to these ego states. • We shift from one ego state to another in transactions.
Shift in Ego States • Parent- to Child: “Why don’t you prepare a time-table?” • Child- to Parent: “What is the point when one cannot follow it?” – Becomes an Adult. • Interviewer to Candidate: “Have you read this book?” Adult to Child. • Candidate to Interviewer: “No”, “But how can anyone read all books printed” Becomes a child.
Transactional Stimulus and Response • The initiator of the transaction is called the transactional stimulus. • The response of the respondent is called transactional response. • The transactional response become again the transactional stimulus for next transactional response and so on.
Types of Transactions • Complementary Transactions: Appropriate and Expected Transactions indicating healthy human relationships. • Communication takes place when transactions are complementary. A stimulus invites a response; this response becomes a stimulus inviting further response and so on.
Types of Transactions (Con..) • Crossed Transaction: This causes most difficulties in social situations. • “May be, you should improve your teaching”. • “You always find fault with me whatever I do” Parent-Child interaction.
Typical Games • Between A shop keeper and a house wife: • “This one is better, but you cannot afford it” • Between A Teacher and a Student: • “This is a good topic, but you cannot handle it.” • Between an Expert and a Candidate: • “What you just said is totally wrong”
How to Begin Transaction • Good Morning – start with salutation. • Have you read the News Paper today? – start with a question. • There is a meeting today at 10.00 a.m. – start with some important information. • You are so handsome today! Start with a complement.
Termination of transactions • OK, See you later – time constraint • We shall discuss this later – post pone the transaction. • I will get back to you later – promise to do something later. • I am already late – time constraint • You are right – give a sense of disinterest.
