Transactional Analysis – Eric Berne Script Analysis A life script is that life plan the individual’s “child”selected early in their developmental years base mostly on the overt or covert messages or injunctions received from the “child” in your parents Injunctions Authoritative directives Scripts are the characteristic way we structure our transactions ~
