This article considers the sociocultural aspects of injunctions as the content of a group's character (Berne, 1963) and identifies the group's culture as part of the individual's Parent, which is echoed in the Parent of the individual's Child. These concepts are applied to probe the oppression of women in society, keeping in mind the use of gender as a category of psychosocial analysis (Eck & Jain, 1986; O'Faolain & Martines, 1973). The author analyzes cultural injunctions of women through a three-phase process model: discussion of group scores on the Drego injunction scale, discussion of dominant myths of the group, and discussion of the group's dominant songs. Through using this model, a group of women from an Indian urban village became aware of their cultural oppression and began using strategies designed for their cultural regeneration. Women's cultural oppression is considered in terms of the individual (Drego, 1981, in press), the group members as a whole, and the contemporary group culture
