In Recognition of Dual Relationships
This article examines some of the assumptions underlying the recent concern among psychotherapists with issues related to dual relationships. It suggests that intellectual, moral, ethical, and clinical effort should be expended to educate both therapists and clients in how to deal with the unavoidable breaks and disruptions in the boundaries of the precious, but probably mythical, “single relationship.” An unrealistic attempt to avoid all dual re…
Bystander Games
This article reviews bystanding behavior and analyzes examples of twelve bystander games in personal, organizational, and national contexts. It suggests some causal explanations as well as ideas for turning these games into opportunities for responsible involvement, intimacy, and autonomy. In conjunction with a previous paper (Clarkson, 1987), a comprehensive theoretical contribution is made toward identifying and understanding the Bystander role…
Transactional Analysis as a Humanistic Therapy
This article outlines those characteristics of transactional analysis that qualify it as a humanistic psychotherapy. The central role and responsibility of the client is highlighted, as are TA's concern with psychological health, phenomenology, and psychotherapeutic relations beyond the transference. Berne's unique and neglected contribution–physis as the third great unconscious drive–is emphasized. Physis as a generalized creative drive toward h…
Physis in Transactional Analysis
The early Greeks conceptualized physis as the generalized creative “force of Nature, which eternally strives to make things grow and to make growing things more perfect” (Berne, 1968, p. 89). This article discusses Berne's unique and neglected contribution to our understanding of this concept as well as its further development in transactional analysis by Clarkson. Physis is also contrasted with the two other major drives in human motivation–eros…
Integrating Intuitive Functioning with Treatment Planning in Supervision
This article, co-authored by a supervisor and a supervisee, describes a supervision session during which experiential exercises were used to stimulate right-hemispheric creativity and to integrate this creativity with left-hemispheric cognition in the process of treatment planning in transactional analysis psychotherapy
Burnout
This article reviews the tendency toward burnout (the depletion of energy levels) of those in the caring professions. It is suggested that there is a correlation between the work of Ernst (1971) on scripts and life positions, Freudenberger's (1975) typologies, and further development of Erskine and Zalcman's (1979) work on racket systems. This correlation is represented by three distinct racket systems which are relevant to various predisposition…
The Interpersonal Field in Transactional Analysis
This article describes the interpersonal field in terms of strokes and transactions. The evidence for the biological and social importance of stroking is considered, with an emphasis on the importance Berne placed on learning and reinforcement in maintaining the script and on the ulterior or psychological level of communication. The author argues that this mechanism may be best understood in terms of hypnotic induction. The implications of this f…
In Praise of Speed, Experimentation, Agreeableness, Endurance, and Excellence
This article reviews definitions of counterscript drivers and allowers in terms of the underlying values toward which self-actualizing people may aspire. Thus, the values of being fast, energetic, pleasing, strong, and excellent—as prized qualities of the autonomous individual under the influence of Physis (the generalized creative force of nature, which eternally “strives to make things grow and to make growing things more perfect” [Berne, 1968,…
Group Imago and the Stages of Group Development
This article emphasizes similarities between Berne's concept of group imago adjustment and the stages of group development as conceptualized by Tuckman (1965) and Lacoursiere (1980), highlighting the most relevant tasks of group leaders at different phases of a group's maturation. Feedback from practitioners and trainees is used to identify useful group leader behaviors at different stages. The article focuses on how developmental phenomena relat…
Further through the Looking Glass
This article considers the management of transference and countertransference phenomena in transactional analysis—including Berne's original diagrams—in terms of crossed transactions. It is suggested that transference and countertransference (from both the patient's and the therapist's perspectives) function as an inseparable, systemic whole. The concept of parallel process is presented along with an analysis of the constituent parts of the inter…
Through the Looking Glass
This article reviews both narrow and broad definitions of transference and countertransference and provides a map of how these definitions can be understood in terms of transactional analysis. It briefly differentiates four categories: (1) what the patient brings to the relationship (pro-active transference), (2) what the psychotherapist brings (pro-active countertransference or therapist transference—pathological, (3) what the psychotherapist re…
Metaperspectives on Diagnosis
A metaperspective on the relationship between psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy is argued in which the right-brain mediated subjective experiences and intuitive awareness so important in psychotherapy are valued equally with the left-brain elicited orderliness, sequential thinking, and linguistic precision used in good dignosis
Metanoia
Metanoia is presented as a unifying concept for describing change in life and in psychotherapy. The major circumstances under which metanoia occurs are reviewed as well as its commonly occurring features in order to broaden the perspective of the transactional analyst. Material drawn from clinical casework, literature, film, and anecdotal sources is presented to illustrate the concept
Systemic Assessment and Treatment Considerations in TA Child Psychotherapy
The authors categorize the difficulties exhibited by children needing psychotherapy into six major types of problems. A clinical example accompanies each. Three sub-systems that impinge on the child's life are identified, and the advantages and disadvantages of different psychotherapeutic formats are discussed
Systemic Integrative Psychotherapy with a Young Bereaved Girl
This article describes brief focused therapy with a traumatized girl whose symptoms in response to her mother's horrible suicide served to stabilize and fixate the bereaved family so that the loss of the mother could be avoided and denied. The therapists' decision to combine individual work with the child and family therapy is highlighted. An account is given of the interventions used to reduce the girl's phobic symptoms, preempt the possible dev…
Berne's Original Model of Ego States
This paper discusses Berne's original concept of ego states (as derived from Fedem [1953/1977] and Penfield [1975]) and clarifies, in particular, the authors' understanding of integrated Adult ego
Ego State Theory
In excerpts from a roundtable discussion of transactional analysis theory ego state definitions and descriptions are contrasted. The authors discuss their opinions about various ego state concepts and describe how theory lays the foundation for psychotherapy methodology
Script Cure? — A Diagnostic Pentagon of Types of Therapeutic Change
Although there are scattered references to different psychotherapy outcomes throughout Berne's work, nowhere does he bring them together for comparison, contrast, and confirmation; nor does he show how possible psychotherapy outcomes can be systematically identified and described. This article presents five possible outcomes: Script Cure, Making Progress, Disintegration, Disillusionment, and Counterscript Cure. These “faces of change” are discuss…
Rechilding
A diagram summarizing the major methods of transactional analysis treatment of ego states is presented, followed by a brief description of each. A fifth category of ego state intervention is introduced, and the term “rechilding” is suggested to describe the creation of ego states that are congruent with developmentally earlier psychophysiological levels in intact adult personalities. The authors then discuss how rechilding can be employed in conj…
Ego State Dilemmas of Abused Children
In this article the intrapsychic dynamics of the abused child are discussed. The theoretical basis for this discussion is drawn from the correspondence between the theories of Miller (1979/1983, 1981/1985, 1980/1987), Bloch (1979), and Fairbairn (1944/1984), and Berne (1966). The perpetuation of Parent ego states and Child ego state responses to abuse are discussed as reflected in existential life positions. It is suggested that the psychotherapi…
Everyday Hypnotic Inductions
This paper describes the process by which, outside the awareness of either participant, the psychological level of a message may have the power of a hypnotic command. The authors propose that this occurs as a result of a complete or partial temporary decommissioning of the receiver's Adult ego state. It is further suggested that the conditions under which this may take place, in the scripting of children or the script reinforcing experiences of e…
The Bystander Role
This article investigates the meaning of bystanding behavior in ordinary life as well as in psychotherapeutic practice. The sequence of five critical choice points at which an individual can intervene responseably is considered. Some of the motivations and rationalizations for bystanding and the psychological costs thereof are surveyed. A theoretical contribution to TA — the role of the Bystander (or audience) — gives context to the Karpman Drama…
