ABSTRACT
The life script is a psychological set of conclusions, beliefs, expectations, rules, and so on which is developed in order to make meaning out of life and all its experiences. It is essentially a process of learning, albeit one which is flawed. This is because not only is the development of life script an internal, personal, and usually implicit process, but it is one which is based on the mental capacity one has at the time of forming any given script conclusion, or script belief. An individual's script beliefs are usually experienced as self-evident and true. Even when presented with a logical argument against the script belief, the belief tends to persist. Script beliefs are changed in a process which is known in transactional analysis as redecision. Possibly the most effective method for redecision is experiential disconfirmation.
