How many basic life positions are included in Transactional Analysis (TA)?

Four
Three
Five
Two

The correct answer is: Four

Transactional Analysis (TA) identifies four basic life positions that individuals can hold regarding themselves and others. These positions are often represented in the context of interpersonal relationships and self-perception. The four positions are: 1. I'm OK, You're OK 2. I'm OK, You're Not OK 3. I'm Not OK, You're OK 4. I'm Not OK, You're Not OK The "I'm OK, You're OK" position is considered a healthy and constructive viewpoint, facilitating positive social interactions. In contrast, the other positions can lead to less favorable interactions and perceptions of self and others. Understanding these positions is critical in TA as they influence behavior, communication, and relationships, which is important for a counselor working with clients struggling with issues related to self-esteem and interpersonal dynamics. The higher number of positions emphasizes the complexity of human interactions and the variations in the ways individuals can perceive their own worth as well as the worth of others, all of which are foundational concepts in both therapy and counseling practices.
