Cure according to Berne

• Cure is a progressive process than a once off process.

• Cure is a matter of progressively learning to exercise new choices.

• The client will likely pass through a series of stages of improvement, distinct in their nature although the boundaries between them might not be sharply recognizable.

Cure according to Berne• Each stage represented a

genuine gain as compared to the one before it.

• Therapist and client might agree to terminate treatment at any one of these way stages if the client found it satisfactory.

• However, only the last stage represented the most fundamental degree of change in the client.

Stages of cure

1. Social control

2. Symptomatic relief

3. Transference cure

4. Script cure

Stage 3 – Transference Cure• Here, the client substitutes the

psychotherapist for the original parent. She

now sees the psychotherapist as fulfilling a

role in her script.

• But she experiences him as doing so in a

more benign way than the actual parent did.

• The client may experience considerable relief

from child fears and anxieties now that she

has this more benevolent parent to relate to.

Stage 3 – Transference Cure

• She may also break free from some of her

original destructive parental messages,

substituting for them the positive

messages she takes on board from the

psychotherapist.

• This stage , however, does not represent

the final goal of cure, since the client still

has to keep the psychotherapist around in

her head in order to maintain her change.

Stage 3 – Transference Cure• Berne acknowledged the work of the

psychoanalyst Fenichel (1945) in elucidating

the nature of such “transference

improvement”.

• A diagnostic clue of this third stage of cure is

that the client will shift the main focus of the

game – playing on to the psychotherapist.

• Often, this will be accompanied by a

corresponding reduction in game – playing

outside the therapy room.
