Abstract
This article considers transactional analysis to be a social therapy capable of producing important changes not only in clients and their relationships, but also in the social contexts to which they belong. A rigorous analysis of the contemporary world with regard to capitalism, neoliberalism, democracy, the new world order, imperialism, and Empire suggests that an important dysfunctional situation for clients is the internalization of their social context into their ego states. The usefulness of applying a script matrix to social phenomena derives from the fact that clients' discomfort is in great part due to the world in which they live. The authors present a new social matrix that analyzes the phenomenon of globalization in order to foster social and political awareness. In this way, rather than supporting the existing social order, which is repressive and dysfunctional, transactional analysis can help to support social alternatives that allow individuals autonomy and instill in them a sense of ethical and social responsibility.
