Identifying, examining and, if necessary, modifying these unconscious script contents represents the path of choice for transactional analysis. This makes self-awareness, (emotional and mental, sometimes spiritual) growth possible.<\/p>\n<p>Insofar as the contents of one's own life plan are unconscious, transactional analysis speaks of the <em><strong>Script beliefs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>For mediation and conflict resolution, these areas of ideas regularly play a lesser role, as no therapeutic ideas are regularly pursued and implemented in these work settings.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><h2><em>4. other influencing TA concepts<\/em><\/h2>\n<h4><strong>a. Concept of time structuring<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n<p>Transactional analysis has also presented a concept of how people structure their (life) time. There are basically six options to choose from: Retreat, rituals, pastime work, psychological games and sincere, intimate encounters, whereby the last option is by no means limited to love or sexual relationships.<\/p>\n<p>This selection is not simply available, but arises from the <em><strong>psycho-physiological basic need<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0to <b><i>Structure,<\/i><\/b><i>\u00a0transactional analysis in addition to the need for <\/i><b><i>Stimulant and strokes<\/i><\/b>\u00a0as the three basic <em><strong>psycho-physiological hunger of the human being<\/strong><\/em> named. Above all, the need for structure is shown and fulfilled in the structuring of (life) time.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8211; already named by Berne &#8211;\u00a0<b><i>Six variants of time structuring<\/i><\/b>\u00a0are not in an arbitrary order. Rather, the degree of emotional risk (vulnerability) increases on the one hand, but this is offset by the increased social information content (stimulation and strokes!) on the other. Of course, combinations are conceivable and not uncommon. Which variant is ultimately chosen depends on the respective individual frame of reference and the individual <strong>\"Stroke needs\"<\/strong> (stroke filters!, stroke myths!). The<i>\u00a0Culture of the organisation or social system in general (group)<\/i>\u00a0has an enormous influence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>b. Stroke process<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Psychological games are also social and emotional events as a way of structuring how to spend one's (life) time. The psycho-physiological <em><strong>Hunger for recognition and attention<\/strong>\u00a0(<\/em>for one's own being and doing) is described by transactional analysis with the concept of strokes. A &#8222;stroke&#8220; practically stands for a social, communicative unit of recognition and includes both &#8222;strokes&#8220; and &#8222;strokes&#8220;. The stroke concept encompasses several conceptual areas that go far beyond the basics of strokes. This would be worth a blog series of its own. I will only outline them here. In addition to the basics, which can be well illustrated using the stroke cube (Fig.), there is also a lot to say about the stroke filters, the stroke myths and Claude Steiner's &#8211; in my opinion outdated &#8211; stroke economics. But more on that elsewhere, right?<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\"fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" title=\"Keynote - Stroke concept.001\" src=\"https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001.jpeg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001-300x225.jpeg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-5485\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20768%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27768%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001-200x150.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001-400x300.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001-800x600.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/inkovema.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Keynote-Stroke-Konzept.001.jpeg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:15px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:13px;--awb-content-font-size:18px;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:#b4c6d6;--awb-border-color:#b4c6d6;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;--awb-divider-color:#e0dede;--awb-divider-hover-color:#e0dede;--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-title-color:#356b8c;--awb-content-color:#4f4f4f;--awb-icon-box-color:#004767;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#666666;--awb-title-font-family:&quot;Rubik&quot;;--awb-title-font-weight:regular;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:16px;--awb-content-font-family:&quot;Rubik&quot;;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:300;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-boxed\" id=\"accordion-5396-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-a45395cf42a6b855f fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_a45395cf42a6b855f\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"a45395cf42a6b855f\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-5396-1\" data-target=\"#a45395cf42a6b855f\" href=\"#a45395cf42a6b855f\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Literature<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"a45395cf42a6b855f\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_a45395cf42a6b855f\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<ul>\n<li><em>Berne, Eric:<\/em> Games people play, New York 1964 (German: Spiele der Erwachsenen, 20th edition, Hamburg 2001);<\/li>\n<li><em>English, F.<\/em>: Transactional Analysis.
