It is their interaction that shapes future predictions and determines script-driven behavior. A content analysis of “Clever Elsie” revealed that the heroine’s fate is defined by catastrophic future images (flash-forwards) and early parental messages about the future (self-fulfilling prophecies), which reinforce a script of avoidance and lead to a loss of identity. The article discusses therapeutic strategies for working with unconscious future projections in various schools of Transactional Analysis, as well as the possibilities ofmodifying script beliefs through the construction of new narratives of the future.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматривается взаимосвязь жизненного сценария и концепции «Память будущего» на примере сказки братьев Гримм «Умная Эльза». Показано, что проспективное мышление, то есть мышление людей о собственном будущем, функционирует на двух уровнях — эксплицитном и имплицитном. Именно их взаимодействие формирует прогнозы будущего и определяет сценарное поведение. Контент-анализ сказки «Умная Эльза» выявил, что судьба героини определяется катастрофическими образами будущего (флеш-форвардами) и ранними родительскими посланиями о будущем (самоопределяющими пророчествами) героини, закрепляющими сценарий избегания и утрату чувства идентичности. Обсуждаются терапевтические стратегии работы с бессознательными прогнозами в различных направлениях транзактного анализа, а также возможности модификации сценарных установок через формирование новых нарративов будущего.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Memory of the Future</kwd><kwd>life script</kwd><kwd>Transactional Analysis</kwd><kwd>autobiographical memory</kwd><kwd>prospective thinking</kwd><kwd>flash-forward</kwd><kwd>injunctions</kwd><kwd>cultural script</kwd><kwd>self-fulfilling prophecies</kwd><kwd>implicit memory</kwd><kwd>Clever Elsie</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Память будущего</kwd><kwd>жизненный сценарий</kwd><kwd>транзактный анализ</kwd><kwd>автобиографическая память</kwd><kwd>проспективное мышление</kwd><kwd>флеш-форвард</kwd><kwd>предписания</kwd><kwd>культурный сценарий</kwd><kwd>самоисполняющиеся пророчества</kwd><kwd>имплицитная память</kwd><kwd>Умная Эльза</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Братья Гримм.
