Transactional Analysis delineates three observable ego-states
(Parent, Adult, and Child) as the basis for the content and quality
of interpersonal communication. "Happy childhood" notwithstanding,
says Harris, most of us are living out the Not ok feelings of a
defenseless child, dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking
and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a "position"
about ourselves and others that determines how we feel about
everything we do. And for a huge portion of the population, that
position is "I'm Not OK -- You're OK." This negative "life
position," shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike,
contaminates our rational Adult capabilities, leaving us vulnerable
to inappropriate emotional reactions of our Child and uncritically
learned behavior programmed into our Parent. By exploring the
structure of our personalities and understanding old decisions,
Harris believes we can find the freedom to change our lives.
