ABSTRACT
Eric Berne wrote that the concept of script has its roots in S. Freud’s theories. The script is the mental scheme that every human being has already created in his childhood according to parental influences, genetic conditioning, and first relational experiences. In different, less dramatic situations, questions about one’s life are asked when one is in one’s forties, when perhaps the objective established by the family script has been attained and one feels at peace with duties of parental programme. This scheme determines the subsequent interpretations of events, the choices associated with these interpretations, and the related feelings, as in writing a theatre script of a role in a comedy, a tragedy, or a glorious, heroic story of success. Berne’s theory of protocol is indeed connected with the most theories about attachment, which have confirmed through scientific observation the existence of different types of primary relationships which affect rest of one’s entire affective life.
