Berne mapped interpersonal relationships to three ego-states of the individuals involved: the Parent, Adult, and Child state. Berne believed that insight could be better discovered by analyzing a client's social transactions.
Freudian psychotherapists focused on client personalities. From Berne, transactional analysts have inherited a determination to create an accessible and user-friendly system, an understanding of script or life-plan, ego states, transactions, and a theory of groups.īerne's theory was based on the ideas of Freud but with distinct differences. By moving to an interpersonal motivational theory, he placed it both in opposition to the psychoanalytic traditions of his day and within what would become the psychoanalytic traditions of the future. His theory built on the science of Wilder Penfield and René Spitz along with the neo-psychoanalytic thought of people such as Paul Federn, Edoardo Weiss, and Erik Erikson. 3 The ego-state, or Parent–Adult–Child (PAC), modelsĮric Berne presented Transactional Analysis to the world as a phenomenological approach, supplementing Freud's philosophical construct with observable data.
