Zamki na piasku... czyli fenomen kłamstwa w perspektywie analizy transakcyjnej

Abstract

The article is an attempt of showing the process of lying from the perspective of transactional analysis. Lying is understood here as an interpersonal process, which involves a liar and his vic- tim. What is important is the fact that the victim cooperates with a liar. A false vision of reality shown by the liar at some point becomes a vision of the victim. This is damaging for their current relationship, and also disrupts the functioning of the Adult ego-state. Transactional analysis can describe and explain the harm of false relational processes without focusing on the moral side of the issue.
