(Seligman, 2003).
You will grow the most in your areas of greateststrength. (Buckingham, 2007, p. 54).

Recognition and diagnosis of ego states
Behaviourial diagnosis (central to Berne) -
observable words, voice tone, gestures, expressions,posture and attitudes.
Are you behaving in a parental way e.g. tellingsomeone off, or a child-like way e.g. sulking?
Social diagnosis - observing the kinds of reactionsthe person elicits from others.
Are others around you behaving in a complementaryfashion. If others are being child-like, this mightindicate that you are operating from Parent egostate?

11/12
Historical validation - that a past experience did actuallyoccur,
Does you attitude or behaviour remind you of one of yourparent figures, or yourself when you were younger?
Phenomenological diagnosis or feltsense- on the basis
of subjective examination.
Do you feel as if you of one of your parent figures, oryourself when you were younger?
Diagnosis requires all four and requires the observationand cooperation of the subject (empirical andphenomenological), although it is usually done on anbehaviourial and intuitive basis.
