Pedagogical Relational Patterns
This paper examines the dynamics of transference within educational settings, challenging the conventional notion that transference is primarily rooted in the parent-child relationship. The authors introduce the phrase “pedagogical relational patterns” to differentiate them from the transference dynamics that typically emerge in the family environment. They also present a new model that reframes how transferential dynamics can be identified and u…
Letter From the Coeditors
In introducing this special issue of the Transactional Analysis Journal (TAJ) on “Leadership,” we are acutely aware of what is going on at different levels in terms of how leaders are showing up th
Authority and Power in the Classroom
The authors present a series of ideas about the intrapsychic and interpersonal dynamics of the classroom. The premise of the paper is that individuals’ early experience of schooling, including their relationships with teachers, can have a longstanding impact in relation to navigating relations with authority and power as well as attitudes and beliefs about the capacity to learn and to be successful. A new model introducing the notion of parallel …

Revisiting Ecological Transactional Analysis
The authors offer a retrospective look at the initial phase in the development of ecological transactional analysis (eco-TA). Following from the original papers in which they offered tentative definitions and principles, they here consider and engage with a range of critical observations, challenges, and opportunities to further evolve the idea of an ecological perspective on transactional analysis theory and practice. Specific themes are address…
Beej Raksha
The authors offer a cross-cultural account of healing and cure that can be useful across all fields of application in transactional analysis. Specifically, ideas from an Indian perspective are presented in which the role of guru energy and witnessing are reframed with illustrations using case material. The authors introduce a third level of communication and a fifth rule of communication that account for a sacred quality in the exploration of hea…
Experiencing Liminality
The authors explore the educational potential of liminality. Drawing on their individual and collective experience of liminality as part of a personal development program, the group members use a series of journal reflections to illuminate its key features. They suggest that the concept provides rich possibilities for generating transformational educational experiences. Transactional analysis models, including the vulnerability quotient and the e…
Teaching as Creative Subversion
The author offers a critique of how contemporary educational practice is oriented toward production and considers its implications for themes associated with transactional analysis theory and practice. Writing from within the context of a neoliberal culture, he explores how education is subject to the principles of commodification, which contaminates how education might serve the interests of students and the intention of educators. Following fro…

For Whom is the Teacher and for What is the Teaching? An Educational Reframe of the Parent Ego State
The author revisits one of his previous articles, which presented an inverted conceptualization of the ego state model, and considers that model with a new, specific focus on implications for teachers and educational practice. In doing so, he addresses related themes, including the concepts of grown-up-ness and eldership. The author suggests that although emancipation has been a recurring theme in educational discourse, an alternative perspective…
A Body of Knowledge
The author explores the somatic experience in educational encounters and considers several associated themes, including the importance of space, landscape, and environment. Examples are provided to illustrate the impact of bodily experience on the learning process in addition to material featuring educational work outdoors. Further consideration is given to ecopsychological theory and specifically the integration of human and nonhuman dynamics. F…

“Whatever!” The Wonderful Possibilities of Adolescence
The purpose of this article is to challenge mainstream understanding of the function and nature of adolescence. The author explores features of adolescence common in Western culture and specifically the way in which the teenage years are perceived to provoke and antagonize older adults. He suggests that adolescents present a significant opportunity for community-supported change and development and considers ideas from neuroscience and script dev…
Natality
The author introduces the concept of natality as a counterpoint to mortality and explores the significance of natality and its key features. He considers how the concept might influence an alternative to framing an existential dialogue that historically tends to be governed by mortality. The discussion extends into the context of transactional analysis theory and considers indications of both mortal and natal frames of reference in a selection of…
Educator as Cultivator

Teaching, Learning, Schooling, and Script
This article considers several themes connected to the educational experience and builds on the keynote presentation made by the author at the 2007 transactional analysis conference in San Francisco. The article asserts that schooling is a universal experience that warrants consideration when reflecting on script formation. Furthermore, the process of schooling is fundamental in creating an individual's frame of reference regarding learning. The …
What Goes Around, Comes Around
In 2003 the author received a research grant from the Institute of Transactional Analysis in the United Kingdom focusing on the application of the cycle of development (Levin, 1982) within the field of education. This article provides an account of that process and introduces a new application of the cycle of development model. The article also introduces a radical interpretation of the concept of praxis as a process of cocreative, meaning-making…
