The script and the life course
“The script is what the person planned to
do in early childhood and the life course is
what actually happens.”
- Eric Berne
The script and the life course
• Your life course is the
result of four interacting
factors:
–Heredity.
– External Events.
– Script.
–Autonomous decision.
The script and the life course• My inheritance of genes largely
determines my physical make up.
• It may also help determine my mental characteristics, though there is still no agreement in the nature vs nurture argument.
• Even if I decided to become an athlete and heredity gave me a moderately fast and strong body, I may do better to find a different way of fulfilling myself.
The script and the life course
Perhaps my early decision was
to live to a healthy old age. I
may be unfortunate enough to
be caught in a fire, earthquake
or plane crash, even though I
have not set up in anyway for
such an outcome. A chance
external event has cut across
my decision to live.
The script and the life course• Whether or not I undertake
formal therapy, many of my life decisions can be taken with full use of my grown up resources.
• We say that these decision are script free or autonomous.
• When I make an autonomous decision, I am dealing with here and now reality as the adult I am now.
