Translator disclaimer

The author applies Berne's (1963) concept of culture to the value system of teachers and students with regard to oppression of young women in urban India. Using permission cards (Drego, 1994b), the author facilitated groups and individuals to change their cultural attitudes and to stop both internalized and societal harm to women. The article also illustrates one application of transactional analysis in the Indian school system.
