DESCRIPTION

The idea behind social diagnosis is that other people will often relate to me from an ego state that compliments that one I am using. Therefore, by noting the ego-state they respond from, I can get a check on the ego state I have come from.

Social Diagnosis

• The idea behind social diagnosis

is that other people will often

relate to me from an ego state

that compliments that one I am

using.

• Therefore, by noting the ego-

state they respond from, I can

get a check on the ego state I

have come from.

Social Diagnosis

• For instance, if I address you from

my Parent ego state, chances are

you will respond to me from your

Child.

• If I open communication with you

from my Adult, you will likely to

come back also in Adult.

• And if I approach you from my

Adapted Child, you may well

respond from your Parent.

Social Diagnosis• Thus if I realize the people often seem

to be giving me Child responses, I

have reasons to think that I may often

be addressing them from Parent.

• Maybe I am a supervisor and find my

supervisees either crawl to me or find

ways to sabotaging my orders behind

my back.

• Both of these look like Adapted Child

responses.

Social Diagnosis• Possibly, then I am being more of a

Controlling Parent with them than I had

realized.

• If I want to change the situation, I can list

the Controlling parent behaviors I have

been suing in the work situations.

• Then I can experiment Adult behavior

instead.

• My supervises’ ego state responses to me

will give me a social diagnosis of how far I

managed to change from my parental

approach.

Activity• Think of a recent occasion when

someone seemed to be responding

to you from their child

• What behavioral clues did the

other person show which you

interpreted as indicating they were

in child?

• Did you invite this response by

coming from your controlling

Parent or Nurturing Parent?

Page 8: Social diagnosis (Transactional analysis / TA is an integrative approach to the theory of psychology and psychotherapy)

Activity• If so, look at your list of behavioral

clues and pick out how the other

person saw and heard you in Parent.

• How might you have altered your

own behavior to invite them to

respond from a different ego state?

• Do the same exercise for recent

occasion when someone seemed to

be responding to your from their

adult or their parent.
