This document discusses the "vengeful child" position in Transactional Analysis. It describes how a child who blames others rather than themselves may rapidly shift to the third "blamer" position. In this position, the life position is "I am OK, you are not OK" and feelings of irritation are experienced when blaming others. The document notes that while originally called the "Vengeful child" position, "Blamer" may be a more appropriate name as this life position can be expressed from both a negative controlling parent and negative adaptive child.

- 3. Vengeful child Suppose that as a child, I decided I was more comfortable blaming others for not – Ok occurrences than blaming myself. In that case, I may rapidly shift to the third position on the miniscript, the blamer.
- 4. Vengeful child Here, my life position is “ I am OK, you are not OK”. I will experience a racket feeling that fits with this blaming life position.
- 5. Vengeful child For example, as I stumble over my words during the party conversation, I may feel irritated with the others in the group because they don’t seem to have understood me.

- 7. Vengeful child However, the I+U- life position may be expressed functionally from negative controlling parent as well as from negative adaptive child, so we think that Kahler’s revised name “Blamer” is more appropriate.
