I know you folks probably get sick, sick, sick of me talking about this, but I figure if I talk about it enough perhaps someone will actually benefit from Transactional Analysis. I can't recall which book it was in, the Inner Child of the Past or I'M OK YOU'RE OK, but it spoke about what ECT did to the person who underwent treatment. What is said to happen is the treatment temporairily 'TURNS OFF' the Child and Parent part of a person, thus allowing the Adult (the here and now part) to actually become the dominant part of the personality. This Adult, is the one who can make rational decisions, and is in an excellent position to learn and understand the concept of Transactional Analysis and so learn how to control their own minds.
