Благодарственная речь по случаю получения в 2004 году мемориальной премии Эрика Берна (Acceptance Speech on Receiving the 2004 Eric Berne Memorial Award)

What I present today are some highlights and applications of the content of the two articles cited for this award: "Changing Systems through Correlations of Injunction Inventories with Analyses of Myths and Songs" (Drego, 1994a) and "Building Family Unity through Permission Rituals: Pemissions and Ego State Models" (Drego, 1999). In the first article, I used the concept of the Cultural Parent together with group scores on my Injunction Scale and analyses of fables and ballads to identify the cultural permissions needed for changing women's scripts. In the second article, I presented the 14 permissions as norms for human development and family unity. I showed how ego state models derived from Berne's (1972, p. 411) terminological grid support permission treatment planning for individuals and groups. I illustrated how the combination of the permission metaphor with the permission message and activity brings about a new family lifestyle, which, in turn, impacts the ego states of family members.
