“…A professzionalitás és a popularitás az alkotó életművében megteremtett egysége egy megőrzésre méltó érték. A feladat annak a "szegények orvosaként" komolyan vallott mélyen demokratikus üzenetnek a további kibontása, hogy a pszichológia nem egy szűk szakmai közösség privilégiuma, hanem egy az élet minőségét javító kultúra, amely mindenkié (BERNE, 1957(BERNE, , 1968 (CORNELL, 1988;BARROW, 2007;NAPPER, 2009).…”

“…p. 328. Vicious cycles can also be conceptualized as an observable link between discounting and script reinforcement. In transactional analysis, script used to be viewed static and unchanging, although at this point many transactional analysts have challenged this view (Allen & Allen, 1997;Cornell, 1988;Newton, 2006;Stuthridge, 2010 , My view is that many disorder processes seem to activate what can be referred to as script deterioration. That is, as the disorder progresses, the person's script deteriorates in the direction of greater dysfunction and impairment, and the individual's problems become more entrenched.…”

This article presents an argument for the clinical and empirical relevance of case study material. Drawing on a series of systematic case studies based in Stiles’s (2007) model of theory building, the author proposes adding the concepts of avoidance and vicious cycles to standard transactional analysis and offers case material to illustrate the usefulness of doing so. Avoidance and vicious cycles are proposed as key mechanisms in the maintenance of the client’s problems, specifically depression and anxiety but also other presenting problems. The article also proposes experiential disconfirmation as an active change mechanism in transactional analysis therapy whereby the therapist actively challenges the client’s life script and promotes change at an experiential level. These concepts forge links between several transactional analysis concepts and provide a unifying framework for a range of TA therapy approaches.

“…(p. 164) Perhaps the therapist is a hero on contract, hired to coinvent a script with a happy ending. I use the term script here to refer to a psychological life plan as articulated by Cornell (1988) ''to describe healthy, functional aspects of 'meaning-making' in the ongoing psychological construction of reality' ' (p. 281). Therapeutic work with children aims to help them form a healthy script, with many permissions and few injunctions.…”
