Translator disclaimer

This article examines the transactional analysis concept of life positions (Berne, 1962/1976) and what various authors have written about these positions since Berne. A two-level model is proposed to clarify some of the confusion that currently exists in the transactional analysis literature. An analysis of the four life positions is presented followed by some suggestions for new positions and some changes in old ones as well as for new clinical options.
