Scripts People Live by Steiner

Scripts People Live  by Steiner; A Review


This book could be handy as a tool. It helped me realize that many things that we do in a family setting come from conditioning from early childhood.We were often assigned a role; either a caretaker, a clown or an angel for example for the whole family.


What is interesting is : once you come to analyze what role you played in the family you can choose to change it.For example, if you were the guardian of the entire family, that is too much presure for one child to manage. As an adult you can take a look at that and decide to pick a role that is closer to a lifestyle that you can live with!:)
