Social Diagnosis
• The idea behind social diagnosis
is that other people will often
relate to me from an ego state
that compliments that one I am
using.
• Therefore, by noting the ego-
state they respond from, I can
get a check on the ego state I
have come from.
Social Diagnosis
• For instance, if I address you from
my Parent ego state, chances are
you will respond to me from your
Child.
• If I open communication with you
from my Adult, you will likely to
come back also in Adult.
• And if I approach you from my
Adapted Child, you may well
respond from your Parent.
Social Diagnosis• Thus if I realize the people often seem
to be giving me Child responses, I
have reasons to think that I may often
be addressing them from Parent.
• Maybe I am a supervisor and find my
supervisees either crawl to me or find
ways to sabotaging my orders behind
my back.
• Both of these look like Adapted Child
responses.
Social Diagnosis• Possibly, then I am being more of a
Controlling Parent with them than I had
realized.
• If I want to change the situation, I can list
the Controlling parent behaviors I have
been suing in the work situations.
• Then I can experiment Adult behavior
instead.
• My supervises’ ego state responses to me
will give me a social diagnosis of how far I
managed to change from my parental
approach.
Activity• Think of a recent occasion when
someone seemed to be responding
to you from their child
• What behavioral clues did the
other person show which you
interpreted as indicating they were
in child?
• Did you invite this response by
coming from your controlling
Parent or Nurturing Parent?
Activity• If so, look at your list of behavioral
clues and pick out how the other
person saw and heard you in Parent.
• How might you have altered your
own behavior to invite them to
respond from a different ego state?
• Do the same exercise for recent
occasion when someone seemed to
be responding to your from their
adult or their parent.
