There's no need for that at this age: ” White parents' approaches to and avoidance of discussions of inequality with early adolescents
Many White Americans believe inequality is due to controllable causes, such as individual effort or good choices, and these beliefs are linked to the perpetuation of inequality. The current research examines the intergenerational transmission of beliefs about inequality from parents to adolescents. We collected data from a sample of 220 White American parents of 11-13-year-olds and examined how they would explain wealth and racial inequality to t…
The OK Position: Freedom, Equality, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Transactional analysis is becoming increasingly identified with the concept of the OKness of people. This essay offers a historical review of the OK concept and a suggestion for how it can be adopted as a banner for the transactional analysis world movement even though, in the writer's opinion, its modern version is far from what Berne had in mind when he postulated the OK/not-OK existential positions
Eric Berne's Politics: “The Great Pyramid”
Eric Berne's politics have been an enigma to many in transactional analysis. His responses to political statements in the San Francisco Social Psychiatry Seminars were decisively unsympathetic, and the author's assumption has been that Berne was avowedly apolitical. However, recently unearthed information invites reevaluation of that assumption and reveals, hidden in plain sight, that Berne's strong preferences were populist, in favor of equality…
Stroking: What's Love Got to Do with It
The author attempts to answer the question “What does transactional analysis have in common with body-centered, somatic points of view?” Transactional analysis began as an Adult-centered, rational theory, but with the introduction of the concept of strokes, Berne opened the way, perhaps unwittingly, for a somatic—Child- and body-centered—investigation of love and the emotions
Transactional Analysis and Psychoanalysis: Writing Styles
The author compares the languages of transactional analysis and psychoanalysis and argues that in his break with psychoanalysis, Eric Berne took leave, primarily, of the linguistic and therefore conceptual style of psychoanalysis. He sought to write, speak, and think about observable phenomena with the use of verbs and concrete nouns instead of adjectives and abstract nouns, which he characterized as “jazz.” This initial linguistic transformation…
Theoretical Diversity: A Debate about Transactional Analysis and Psychoanalysis
This article presents a lively debate in the form of four letters exchanged by Michele Novellino, a proponent of transactional psychoanalysis, which utilizes the analysis of transference, countertransference, and unconscious phenomena, and Claude Steiner, who takes the position that transactional analysis was developed as a radical departure from psychoanalysis and does not benefit from the use of psychoanalytic terminology. Additional informatio…

Emotional Literacy Training: The Application of Transactional Analysis to the Study of Emotions
Dealing with the emotional side of the therapeutic process was not a major emphasis in Eric Berne's thinking as he developed transactional analysis. Nevertheless, by inventing the concept of strokes and designing techniques for the analysis of transactions—the exchange of strokes—he laid the foundation for a pragmatic method of studying the emotional aspect of human interactions. Emotional literacy training is the application of transactional ana…
