                         TRANSACTIONS - CROSSED

 When any ego-state talks to another and the target ego-state
 DOES NOT respond, the transaction is CROSSED. It does not
 matter whether the stimulus and response are functional or
 dysfunctional.

 A common crossed-transaction occurs when a person is asked
 a question for information and they take the question as
 criticism - they will often cross the transaction with
 defensiveness or hostility, and the reverse is true as well.
