This article considers the link between script and physical illness and proposes that humans respond to physical or emotional trauma with five inborn devolutionary lines of defense. These lines of defense are imposed on physiology as well as personality and thus can produce physical illness. Links between script issues and physical symptoms in relation to a variety of physical and psychological problems are discussed. Through rescripting, transactional analysts stand to make major contributions to clients who want to improve their physical as well as emotional well-being
