Phenomenological Diagnosis

Sometimes, I may re – experience the

past instead of just remembering it.

Phenomenological Diagnosis

“ …. Phenomenological validation only

occurs…If the individual can re –

experience the whole ego state in full

intensity with little weathering.”

- Eric Berne

Phenomenological Diagnosis• Suppose you had just recalled

the time when Dad badgered

you to read and then laughed

at you for getting the words

wrong.

• If you and I were working in

therapy, I might invite you to

get back into that childhood

scene.

Phenomenological Diagnosis

• Perhaps you put Dad in

front of you in

imagination and tell him

what you couldn’t tell

him when you were six.

• You might find yourself

first whining to Dad.

Phenomenological Diagnosis• Then you might re – contact

furious anger and start yelling

“This is not fair”, while beating

on a cushion in the way you

would have liked to beat on

Dad.

• You and I have a

phenomenological diagnosis of

part of the content of your

Child ego states.

Phenomenological Diagnosis• Berne used the word

“Phenomenological” here in a

sense which is different from

its usual dictionary definition.

• He never explained why he

had chosen to do this.

• Simply register Berne’s

technical meaning as

described above.
