Briefly stated, Transac- tlonal Analysis is analyzing the transactlons that go on be- tween people. Dr, Ernst dis- cussed his. work in terms of: What We Have to Work With; Why People Do What They Do; and What You Stroke is What You Get. ji Under the first topic several situations were men- tloned, mainly: The prejudiced parent in favor of rules, stand- ards and morals; The nuturing parent who cares for, feeds and protects; The adult who gathers the facts and shows no emotion; The free child who seeks fun and loves to explore; The adapted child’ who obeys and is concerned about what the neighbors think; and The rebellious child who disobeys. The teachers were asked to make an egogram of them- selves, using the above six ‘What You Stroke Is What You Get’ Transactional Analysis Workshop _ In the second topic, “Why People Do What They Di ir. Ernst pointed out that people have certain needs such as: Physical—the need: for food, water, alr, shelter, ete: Pay- chologica!—emotional, intellec- tual and freedom; Strokes— ~ ‘to be loved or touched. Complete sensory depriva- tion can lead to hallucinatory behavior after just a few hours, Children deprived of attention will look for negative waya to get attention, Sometimes par- ents and teachers give thelr children negative strokes in- stead of positive ones. Dr. Ernst states that a child that causes trouble wants attention and a teacher that re- acts negatively is playing into the child's hands. Instead, Dr. Ernst states that teachers should stroke (or reward) what the child does well, preferably before the child has a chance to create a problem. Topic three, “What You Stroke is What. You - Get,” stresses that positive strokes such as smiling, nodding, hug- ging, complimenting, patting on the back, get much more posi- tive reactions from children than negative strokes such as hitting, Inaulting, shaking, scowling, ete, Children play a variety of disruptive games in the, class- room and at home.
