Abstract
This article views four ego state models — Phenomenological, historical, behavioral, and social—as having socioethical aspects that affect the quality of human life that is promoted by transactional analysts. It describes a scheme of personal maturity that is rooted in Bernean theory so that the three ego states indicate three ways of being in the here and now: There is a Parent presence, an Adult presence, and a Child presence, with spiritual dimensions. Each ego state is an integration from past and recent experiences and hence the need for promoting cohesiveness and congruence within and between them through developing an integrated Parent, integrated Adult, and integrated Child.
