Answer to Question 1

A
Devaluation and rejection are based on narcissistic injury. Based on the tendency to see people as all good or all bad, devaluation and rejection of the all-bad object are logical to the person.

Answer to Question 2

A
This is an example of the Why don't you? Yes, but.... game. On the surface the game involves two adults solving problems; in reality, one person is using the child ego state to show what a bad parent the other person is.
