This article identifies possible manifestations of cultural script in Western society today and the relevance they may have for the professional practice of transactional analysis. After a brief review of Eric Berne's views on script and culture, the author cites sociologist David Riesman's theory and shows how it can be used to understand social phenomena from a transactional analytic point of view. Examples of the effects that cultural influence may have on psychotherapy are discussed along with their theoretical meanings. The article concludes by presenting questions to help individuals identify possible influences of cultural script in their own lives.
