“Functional fluency” is proposed as a term to describe the behavioral manifestations of the integrating Adult ego state. An approach to teaching the integrating Adult ego state model, one with particular relevance for educators, is presented. A rationale for the importance of personal development and therapy for educators using the concept of functional fluency is outlined, and a practical framework for undertaking aspects of this work is described.
