Corral

Transactional Analysis
What is TA?
A model for understanding human behavior
Three Ego States (parent, adult, and child) or
parts of the brain
Parent's is a language of values
Adult's is a language of logic and rationality
Child's is a language of emotions

Effective functioning in the world depends on

the availability of all three, intact ego states.

Parent ego
What are the Parent Types?
Prejudiced
(lacks facts & logic)

Nurturing
(caring and sympathetic behavior)

Critical
(fault-finding, condescending)

The Child (Ego) in all of us

Represents the
feeling/emotional part of us.
Includes the impulses, feelings,
and behaviors that comes
naturally to a small child.
Often referred to as the
emotional part of us.

The Child Ego State

A Child is
Impulsive
Self Centered
Pleasure
Loving
Angry

Fearful
Happy
Rebellious
Sad
Aggressive

The Adult Ego

That part of us that deals objectively
with reality (why is this important?)
Gathers objective information
Organizes
Tests reality
Computes dispassionately

Being able to see things as they are

without

the emotional attachments and aversions of our Child and

without the prejudices of our Parent (be they that I/You are
OK or not)

gives us the power to make

decisions on the basis of

approximation to

reality

the closest

that we can attain

experience at the moment.

So what about the Adult Ego

Looks at the past but doesnt dwell on it.
Think of a person who lives in the past
what other characteristics do you see in
them?
Focuses on information and objectively
analyzes data to make decisions.
Often referred to as the computer part of us.

Team Work is no accident,

it is the by-product of
good leadership!

Mental blocks / Inner barriers that

hinders effective team working

They are built from your assumptions on

how you & others should work.

They gradually transform into rules

governing you - your response to people &
situations.

One believes them unquestioningly .

One doesnt think of them, or recognize

them as sources of ineffectiveness at work.

What are they??

a problem,
so it isn't
there.
