Abstract

This article examines Eric Berne's invitation to explore how we say hello as a means of gaining insight into script. The main hypothesis is that an expanded awareness of how one physically and emotionally structures, enters into contact with, and relates to the world brings a deeper understanding of one's script and of how it may be changed at its core. To do this, a historical review of body-oriented approaches is offered followed by a theoretical discussion of affect-motor schemas, stage setting, and script in its early stages. This leads to considering new body-oriented interventions and techniques as well as body defenses. Finally, some clinical implications are illustrated through a case study.
