When I am child contaminated, I cloud my
grown up thinking with beliefs from my
childhood. These are fantasies, evoked by
feelings, that are taken as facts. Berne used the
word delusion to describe the kind of belief
that typically arise from child contamination.
When the content of a child contamination
comes from earlier childhood, the delusion is
likely to be more bizarre.
• People just don’t like me.
• There is something wrong with me.
• I cant stop smoking.
• I was born fat.
Child Contamination
• One for of child contamination is the
delusion of grandeur. In its extreme
form, a person may believe that she or
he is savior of the world or the ruler of
the world.
• Another common delusion is feeling
persecuted – being poisoned, spied
upon or plotted against.
• In its less sever forms, a person whose
Child contaminates the Adult has
distorted perceptions of realities.
Child Contamination
• Take a piece of paper and head it : “ I am the
sort of person who….”
• Take two minutes to write down all the ways
you think of to finish the sentence.
• At the end of two minutes, relax, breathe and
look around the room for a while.
• For each of the ways you finished the
sentence, check whether it is a statement
about reality or a child contamination.
• If you decide any of the statement about
yourself do come from child contamination,
think what the reality of the matter is. Strike
out the child contamination words and put in
the adult updates.
