Name giving – the beginning of the biography and the script

Journal Title: Edukacyjna Analiza Transakcyjna - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue

Abstract

The article analyses the influence of a particular name on the individual's life and the development of his script. It contains the examples taken from psychotherapeutic practice and the results of the study conducted on a group of students, which reveal that most of them believe that their name have been chosen purposefully (56,4%). Thus, it can be assumed that when parents chose names for their children, they have a concrete intention in mind, which may include the performance of certain tasks, the pressure to adopt certain roles or the expectations of certain behaviours. All this leads to the development of a particular life script.
