Role of Parent in Frame of reference

• The parent ego state plays a

particularly important part

in the formulation of the

frame of reference. This is

because our frame of

reference consists of

definitions of the world, self

and others.

Role of Parent in Frame of reference

• It is our parent and parent

figures that we originally learn

these definitions. Depending

on the age at which we receive

them, they may be filed away

as a part of the content of our

own parent ego state (P2) or of

the parent of the child (P1).

Role of Parent in Frame of reference

• Each of us has a personal

set of parental

definitions of what is

good, bad, wrong, right,

scary, easy, difficult,

dirty, clean, fair, unfair,

and so on.

Role of Parent in Frame of reference

• It is on this set of

definitions that we base

our views of self, others

and the world. We

choose our responses to

situations accordingly.
