I have spent so much time making sure my students didn't conflate Parent-Adult-Child with Blamer-Computer-Placater (and V-A-K) that I only this morning imagined exercises *combining* them; role-play through each of the Satir categories first as Parent; now as Child; now as Adult.
It sometimes seems that the TA model would equate Adult with Leveler; but that would be a mistake. Adult is actually described as a computer; the economist's "rational actor" is probably close to what Berne had in mind for "Adult." The better model shows parent-adult-child as reflective of hierarchy between players and their world. The T.A. Adult is as prone to pathology as the other ego states; the pathological adult is one that fails to appreciate, experience, enjoy, the positive attributes of parent and child. All three states have their proper moments; failure to manifest the ego state appropriate to the given moment, and enjoy it, is the pathology.
