Scripting occurs within systemic contexts, especially families. Berne (1961) focused on how individuals experience contextual and scripting influences in their ego states. Bowen (1976) and Minuchin (1974) described some situational variables in scripting processes. Integrating the two perspectives—the experiential and the social psychological—provides a more comprehensive understanding of scripting and a multidimensional framework for selecting appropriate therapeutic interventions.
