The document discusses the concept of 'drivers' and 'miniscripts' introduced by clinical psychologist Taibi Kahler in the 1970s, highlighting how specific behavioral patterns precede scripted behaviors. It identifies five drivers (Be Perfect, Please, Try Hard, Be Strong, Hurry Up) that signal predictable process scripts. By observing these driver behaviors, one can gain insights into a person's underlying script within a brief time span.

- 3. Drivers and the miniscript Working in the early 1970s, clinical psychologist Taibi Kahler made an intriguing discovery. He had followed up Berne’s idea that the script may be played out over very short periods.
- 4. Drivers and the miniscript Second by second, Kahler noted his subjects words, tones, gestures, postures and facial expressions. He found that there were certain distinctive sets of behaviors which people consistently showed just before they moved into any kind of scripty behavior or feelings.
- 5. Drivers and the miniscript Kahler and his coworkers listed five of these second by second behavior sequences. They called them drivers. Further study showed that driver behavior was part of a wider pattern which Kahler called the miniscript.
- 6. Drivers and the miniscript Miniscript is a sequence of script behavior, feelings and beliefs. It is played out over a time scale ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. Invariably, it begins with one of the driver behavior.
- 7. Drivers and the miniscript Miniscript reproduces over a short time period, the process of the entire life script. Each time I run through my miniscript, I reinforce my script process. Whenever I step out of my minscript pattern, I help defuse my script process.
- 8. Drivers and the miniscript The five drivers are distinctively related to the six process script types. By observing someone’s driver patterns, you can predict reliably what her process script will be. Thus by learning how to detect the five driver behavior, you can tell a lot about a person in a short space of time.
- 9. Drivers and the miniscript The five drivers are –Be perfect. –Please (Others). –Try hard. –Be strong. –Hurry Up.
- 10. Drivers and the miniscript Each of the five drivers is signaled by a distinctive set of words, tones, gestures, postures and facial expressions. You have already learned to use these clues in making a behavioral diagnosis of ego states.
- 11. Drivers and the miniscript In looking for driver behaviors, you need to shrink your time scale. Driver behaviors are typically shown within half a second to one second. Observing within this short time span takes some initial practice if you are not used to it. But it soon becomes second nature.
- 12. Drivers and the miniscript The caution “don’t interpret” applies here, just as it did when we were discussing behavioral diagnosis in general. Stay with the behaviors you can actually see and hear.
