Abstract
This article integrates concepts from transactional analysis and the field of rehabilitation in order to suggest insights into the psychosocial aspects of physical disability that can help clients and professionals be more effective in achieving their rehabilitation goals. Psychosocial, the aim of rehabilitation is to restore and maintain optimal levels of independent functioning in the person's intrapersonal, interpersonal, and community systems. The TA concepts of Parent, Adult, and Child ego states provide specific mechanisms by which a person with disability, a family, or a health care professional may intervene in these systems and facilitate the rehabilitation process.
