“Father, Where Art Thou?” The Significance of Transgenerational Trauma in a Psychotherapy With Luke
The author presents her work with a male client, choosing those parts of the clinical work that provide a context for the emergence of transgenerational trauma. She proposes that this type of trauma is encoded in multiple unconscious forms and only reveals itself through a nonlinear process requiring the therapist’s disciplined and reflective use of her subjectivity. Using the theory of the domains of transference, she describes how previously tr…
The Role of the Imagination in an Analysis of Unconscious Relatedness
The author presents a case study of her work with a female client. She chooses two periods of time in the therapy to explore the unconscious intersubjective nature of the clinical encounter. In part one she describes how an enactment leads to an impasse. Using the theory of the third, she describes how the impasse is resolved, which paves the way for the deeper therapeutic process described in part two. There she shows how previously dissociated …
Building Resilience: The Role of Firm Boundaries and the Third in Relational Group Therapy
In her discussion of Erskine’s (2013) “Relational Group Process: Developments in a Transactional Analysis Model of Group Psychotherapy,” the author reexamines the meaning of several key aspects of group work identified by Erskine, including safety, empathy, and attunement. A distinction is made between empathy and attunement and an argument is offered for the clinical need to create psychological space for enactments in groups. The author propose…
Acceptance Speech on Receiving the 2007 Eric Berne Memorial Award

The features of the original theory are summarized in order to locate the work within the rapidly developing field of relational transactional analysis. Additional…

An Analysis of Nonverbal Transactions Drawing on Theories of Intersubjectivity
This article proposes that Berne's focus on the transactional nature of psychotherapy foreshadowed later developments in psychoanalysis that have come to be known as “relational psychoanalysis.” Relational psychoanalysis, which introduced the interpersonal and intersubjective experience into traditional psychoanalysis, brought psychoanalysis into a more interactive framework. Given that Berne's intention for transactional analysis was to enable p…

Transactional analysis psychotherapy: A Relational Perspective
Withdrawal, Connection, and Therapeutic Touch: A Roundtable on the Schizoid Process
This article presents excerpts from a roundtable discussion on the schizoid process held as part of a continuing education symposium at the August 1999 ITAA annual conference in San Francisco. Consideration is given to the importance of a number of factors in work with schizoid clients, including safety, autonomy, the therapeutic use of both physical and nonphysical touch, rage, the intersubjective nature of therapy, projective identification, un…
There Ain't No Cure for Love: The Psychotherapy of an Erotic Transference
This case study charts the process of psychotherapy with a young man over a period of about five years and discusses the emergence of erotic feelings in the transference and countertransference
Reflections on Erskine, Sills, and Cornell
In this article, the author responds briefly to the careful analyses written by Erskine (2001), Sills (2001), and Cornell (2001) about her case study of erotic transference (Hargaden, 2001). She reflects on how this process has deepened her understanding and yet allowed her to remain open to various conclusions
Deconfusion of the Child Ego State: A Relational Perspective
This article proposes a theory of self based on Berne's (1961/1986) original structural model of ego states and on elements of object relations theory and self psychology. Consideration is given to the implications of this theory for psychotherapeutic methodology—including the therapist's use of self—as they relate to understanding and working with the internal dynamics of the Child ego state. The authors suggest that a congruent methodology for …
