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.
