A Pilot Study of Physiological Reactivity in Children and Maternal Figures Who Lost Relatives in a Terrorist Attack
Trauma is thought to interfere with normal grief by superimposing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder. This exploratory pilot study examined the association between traumatic grief and objectively measured physiological reactivity to a trauma interview in 73 children who lost relatives in the Oklahoma City bombing as well as a potential link between children and their maternal figures in physiological reactivity. Although the authors found …
The Experienced Self as a Developmental Line and Its Use in Script Work
The sense of self as a conscious presence, container of experience, and center of agency is a developmental line that becomes more complex and integrated as we mature. Life narratives, scripts, and episcripts as understood in transactional analysis are manifestations of only one level: the autobiographical self. Conceptualizing verbalizable life narratives as only one level in a development line opens up a wide range of therapeutic interventions …
Redecision Therapy
This article invites readers to consider the following questions: Why did Robert and Mary Goulding insist that redecisions be made in a Free Child ego state? What are the developmental prerequisites for redeciding an earlier decision? Does the redecision process apply only to verbalizable decisions subserved by explicit memory, or may there be other types subserved by implicit or procedural memory? How does a redecision make a difference both in …
Constructivist and Neuroconstructivist Transactional Analysis
After a brief description of postmodernism, constructionism, and constructivism, the author describes constructivist therapies in general and then distinguishes one variety of a transactional analysis societal constructionist approach and three varieties of individual constructivist approaches. Neuro-physiological processes, however, subserve ego states, transactions, and scripts. Those transactional analytic theories and practices that include c…
Cultural Competency Training in a Global Society
Oklahoma City Ten Years Later
The literature on terrorism and disaster has generally emphasized immediate response. After awhile, however, the people who come to help go home, and savings, insurance, and favors are used up. This article addresses this later period, the long-term effects of trauma, and the roles of outreach and other interventions, at least as they have been experienced in Oklahoma City since the terrorist bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in April 1995. …
Psychological Mindedness
Psychological mindedness is the capacity to self-reflect and to think of oneself and others as motivated by internal states. It is one aspect of thinking, a prerequisite for understanding intrapsychic and interpersonal phenomena and for insight and insight-oriented therapeutic interventions. This article outlines the development and permissions and nurturance psychological mindedness requires. Such a conceptualization allows one to consider decon…
Biological Underpinnings of Treatment Approaches
This article considers how recent developments in the biological sciences have transformed our understanding of the mechanisms underlying various treatment approaches. It also examines the biological underpinnings of four common conditions: depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Concepts, Competencies, and Interpretive Communities
In the process of considering core concepts and core competencies in transactional analysis, there are several factors that need to be taken into account: (1) biological underpinnings, (2) epistemology (constructivism, expectancy, and membership in an interpretive community), (3) the appropriate boundaries of social psychiatry, (4) practitioners' styles, and (5) the roles of eclecticism and integration
Groups within Groups
An inpatient psychiatric unit in a general hospital allows one to look at the interrelationships of milieu, therapeutic and administrative groups, and group treatment as they operate within larger organizational and societal matrices. This article describes a children's psychiatric unit grounded in transactional analysis, its successes in terms of treatment, and its ultimate demise because of external economic pressures. The treatment of a 10-yea…
Every Revolution Should Have Dancing
Almost half a century ago, Eric Berne elaborated his therapeutic framework in terms of the neurology of the day (Penfield, 1952); the perspective of his ego state, transaction, game and script frameworks; and the pragmatism of his emphasis on fun and “curing people” rather than on “doing group therapy.” Today, thanks to expanding knowledge of language use, neurophysiology, and genetics, we are on the threshold of understanding all of this in rela…
Biology and Transactional Analysis II
Over the past decade, research in child development and neurophysiology has revolutionized our knowledge of brain functioning. This article uses some of these newer findings to deepen our understanding of key concepts and interventions in transactional analysis
Violence
Violence is multidetermined, the outcome of individual, family, and cultural factors. This article draws attention to the importance of some basic functions of the living organism that can lead to

Biology and Transactional Analysis
Transactional analysis has been enriched by its integration with a variety of psychosocial, developmental, and therapeutic approaches. What has been missing, however, has been a comparable integration with biology. It is the aim of this article to summarize a few recent, relevant advances in this area and to encourage others to follow suit
Transactional Analysis Notes from Oklahoma City
This article looks at the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City and its aftermath from the vantage point of transactional analysis, a process that gains added importance if this bomb
A New Type of Transactional Analysis and One Version of Script Work with a Constructionist Sensibility
Since Berne's seminal work, a number of clinicians have elaborated different types of therapy within transactional analysis. Most of us are now familiar with reparenting (Schiffet al., 1975), self

A Typology of Psychopathology and Treatment of Children and Adolescents
The purpose of this article is to present an overall transactional analysis model of psychopathology in children and adolescents and a framework for rapid treatment planning. A number of authors ha
The Role of Permission
The concept of permission is important both for parenting and for therapy. As parents, we try to provide an environment that gives permission to our children as well as security, predictability, validation, and protection. As therapists, we work to remediate the deficits our patients experienced in their early lives, deficits that influenced their life decisions. This article is a synopsis of a panel entitled, “Permission: Two Decades Later,” pre…
Narrative Theory, Redecision Therapy, and Postmodernism
Redecision therapy needs to be considered both as a brief therapy and as a powerful postmodern narrative therapy. Conceptualizing it in this manner, we are in a better position to appreciate its re
Concepts of Transference
The authors review common usages of the term transference, offering a dermition and a delineation of four major types of transference and an outline of some major unresolved issues in this area. This is followed by a discussion of some of the problems that arise when transactional analysis adopts familiar object relations approaches to the phenomenon, however pragmatically useful, and the suggestion of an alternative approach in levels of differe…
Ego States, Self, and Script
The concept of self and its relationship to ego states and script has been relatively neglected in the TA literature. The authors use the concept of the self to examine the work of Milton Erickson, a celebrated non — TA therapist, and to introduce some of his techniques into the TA literature.

Stroking
In the 1960s Eric Berne's writing on strokes—which related strokes to their apparent biological underpinnings and such phenomena as failure to thrive, depression, and related conditions—captured the imagination of both the professional and lay public. However, today one rarely hears such slogans as “Stroke the pit” or “If you don't get enough strokes, your spinal cord will shrivel up.” This article reexamines these ideas about strokes, taking int…
Health Care Workers and the Risk of HIV Transmission
A physician with the AIDS Program at the Centers for Disease Control\nexamines epidemiological data on the risk of HIV (human immunodeficiency\nvirus) infection to U.S. health care personnel. Isolated cases of such\ninfection have created unnecessary anxiety among those caring for AIDS and\nHIV-infected patients. Combined studies of almost 1,400 health care workers\nand 1,300 dental personnel suggest that, in the absence of known risk factors,\nt…

The Indian adolescent
Book reviewed in this article: Adolescence is generally viewed as a time of psychosocial turmoil. For the Native American Indian, this time of life brings forth problems of greater complexity than those of the adolescent of the dominant culture. This paper describes the dilemma of the Indian adolescent, who has moved from a nurturance by and among his own people, into a schooling under the authority of the white man, and must now find an identity…
Conflict and Desynchronization
The authors delineate six distinct types of conflict, each requiring specific and different types of therapeutic intervention. This offers an alternative transactional analysis approach to diagnosis, a dynamic supplement to the static categories of traditional psychiatric nomenclature, and a framework for incisive therapeutic intervention

To Find/Make Meaning
This article extends and complements the work of Jacobs (1987) and English (1979) on autocratic power by expanding on the last of the permissions outlined by Allen and Allen in 1972: the permission to find or make meaning. Three areas are covered: (1) the relationship of the stories by which we live to how we find/make meaning and construct reality; (2) the use of strategic transactions to induce others to accept our reality and the stories we in…

Scripts and Permissions
In the years since Berne's death so many connotations and relatively unexamined assumptions have accrued to key transactional analysis concepts that their original meanings are often obscured. This article examines some of the connotations of script and the biopsychosocial context of permissions and introduces the idea of a matrix of permissions
Nearshore Sediment Transport
Recent advances in understanding of sand movement in the surf zone provide a basis to discuss future directions of research. Problems exist in relating sediment flux and landform responses to waves, tides, and currents despite improved acquisition of data. Some gaps in knowledge are spatial and temporal processes that are geographic. NEARSHORE sediment transport has been a central research theme for coastal scientists. The result has been a drama…
