Im OK, You're OK

This is a non- fiction book written by Thomas A.Harris.This talks about human emotions and his reactions to different type of stimulus created by himself.Here there are 4 types namely- 1. Im ok,you're ok 2.Im not ok,you're ok. 3.Im ok,you're not ok and 4.Im not ok,you're not ok. The first and the last does not arise any problem,as both the stimulus are ok and also not ok.The second and the third has issues as it does not correlate with the respective actions.The chapter Parent,Adult and Child talks about various changes that takes place in the human behavior.Changes from one state to another are apparent in manner,appearance,words and gestures.A thirty-four year old woman came to the author(psychologist) for help with a problem of sleeplessness,constant worry over what she is doing to her children, and increasing nervousness.in the course of the first hour she suddenly began to weep and she said, 'You make me feel like Im three years old'.Her voice and manner was that of a small child.At another point in the hour her voice and manner suddenly changed and she became dogmatic and started behaving like a proper mother.During one hour this women changed to multiple different and distinct personalities.
