Supervision in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy
Some Thoughts about the Trauma Incurred by Adult Victims of Torture
This response to Cristina Caizzi's article “Embodied Trauma: Using the Subsymbolic Mode to Access and Change Script Protocol in Traumatized Adults” offers further thoughts about the impact of torture on victims. Also discussed briefly are the effects of trauma on victims of deliberately inflicted pain, intimidation, and threats to survival both physical and psychological. The author focuses on treatment issues, the long-lasting nature of symptoms…
Reflections on Transactional Analysis in the Context of Contemporary Relational Approaches
This article evaluates and contextualizes transactional analysis in relation to contemporary relational approaches to psychotherapy. In evaluating the contribution transactional analysis has made to our thinking and understanding of human functioning, the author expands her discussion to include a description of the applications of transactional analysis to cross-cultural, social, and organizational settings. The challenges that face transactiona…
Sex-role Orientation and Psychological Well-being
As a model of the relationship between sex-role orientation and psychological well-being, the masculinity model has proved more successful than either the androgyny or the congruence models. In this article, it is, nevertheless, argued that the model has many shortcomings and limitations which need to be addressed by future research. The central criticisms of the model are that it fails to provide a theoretical understanding of its own success, c…
The Organizing Matrix in the Evolution of Script
Stimulated by Cornell's (1988) criticism of the way script is used and his call for a concept beyond script to account for normal developmental processes, an organizing matrix in the evolution of script is hypothesized. The developmental process is traced through the works of Winnicott, Erikson, and Loevinger and related to both Berne's concept of script and more recent TA contributions. The concept of transitional space is used to explain and ex…
Transference and Transactions
Berne's unique contribution to treatment and cure is a powerful way to describe transference and countertransference because inherent in the TA language is the central dynamic created in a therapy situation. The distinction between structured and unstructured personalities is drawn, and the implications of these differences for treatment are described. This article also considers the way transference can be conceptualized and used in classical lo…
A Pilot Study of World View of Black and White South African Adolescent Pupils
Research on cross-cultural counselling and psychotherapy began to receive emphasis in the 1970‘s in the United States. In South Africa the need to devise relevant help for the majority black population and to contextualize psychological services is being increasingly addressed in the literature. In the present study differences in world view between black and white South African adolescent pupils (n = 200) were investigated. The use of a scale to…

The Developmental Function of Play and Its Relevance for Transactional Analysis
The conditions that facilitate the development and expression of play in children are examined, and the importance of the “holding environment” (Winnicott, 1971, p. 130) is highlighted. The authors' central thesis is that the experience of enough Free Child activity lays the foundation for the development of a healthy Adult. The clinical implications of this approach are related to Berne's (1962) description of the therapy process
Sexual Attitudes and Behaviour of Indian South African Adolescents
No prior research has been conducted into sexuality among Indian adolescents, although adolescence is a critical stage in the human life cycle for psychosocial and psychosexual development. The present study aimed at investigating the sexual attitudes and behaviour of a sample of Indian South African adolescents. Two hypotheses were formulated: there is a significant difference between the sexes in their sexual attitudes and behaviour; there is a…
The Transitional Object and the Development of the Child Ego State
The paper describes how the development of a transitional object plays a crucial role in the growth of the healthy personality. Given its critical nature, the development and clinical aspects are examined in the light of T.A. theory. In particular, we relate transitional phenomena to the development of the Child ego state. Further, we consider the clinical implications, by examining these notions in relation to the therapeutic process and the cou…
A Model of Family Development and Functioning in a T.A. Framework
In this paper a model derived from a systems conceptualization is proposed. This model serves three primary functions: 1. By superimposing a T.A. conceptualization on a systems approach to families, it suggests a theoretical and integrative basis from which to view the family.2. It describes a developmental process within functional families.3. It offers implications for both the understanding and treatment of problems in families
Clinical Implications of the Family Systems Model
Arising out of a model describing family system in expanded TA terms, both structural and functional pathology are defined and discussed. Implications for family therapy are highlighted, emphasizing the necessity for both structural and functional analysis. It is concluded that the healthy system has adaptive mechanism which allow it to cope both with internal developmental pressure and external change and stress. The goal of therapy involves str…
An Integration of Major Theoretical Aspects of Anxiety, Creative Behavior, or Rackets
Discusses the theoretical question of anxiety as response or as process, and proposes a model integrating both process and response. Suggests anxiety to initially be a conditional response to undifferentiated arousal evoked by traumatic events. As skills of language and cognition are acquired with experience and development, perception and expression of anxiety as process evolves. The linking of anxiety to cognition makes clear a potential for ei…
A Descriptive Analysis of Television Viewing in South African Preschoolers and its Relationship to their Spontaneous Play
A preliminary investigation was carried out in which South African preschoolers' spontaneous play was related to their television viewing habits, a year after its full scale introduction of television in South Africa. It appears that the limited and relatively benign nature of the television service has no adverse effect reflected in play, such as increases in the overt expression of aggression and anxiety. If anything the television programmes c…
The influence of sociocultural, economic, and home background factors on children's ability to engage in imaginative play
Modification of Imaginative Play in Preschool Children through the Intervention of an Adult Model
An intervention technique designed to enhance the level of imaginative play in the preschool child through the direct intervention of an adult model was applied in two studies. In both studies pre- and post-test ratings of experimental and control groups' spontaneous play were made by observers blind to the nature of the experiment. The first study, carried out with middle-class children, showed that the experimental group increased significantly…
Imaginative Play in Pre-School Children as an Indicator of Emotional and Cognitive Development
Although imaginative play in children has long been of interest to psychologists it is only recently that it has become a topic for serious psychological research, largely through the groundbreaking work of J. Singer and his associates at Yale. In the present paper a summary of the major research focus on imaginative play is presented. Research outlining some of the correlates of the predisposition to imaginative play, studies linking imaginative…
