A Response to Berlin and Berlin
I am writing to comment on and respond to the article “Ego States and Projective Identification: A Six-Stage Relational Methodology” by Alistair Berlin and Megan Berlin (2022) published in the Tran
Boundary Applications and Violations
The title of this paper reflects the author’s continuing exploration of the nature of clinical boundaries, their maintenance, and transgressions in psychotherapy. There is a growing interest in enactments in the psychotherapeutic literature, including within transactional analysis. Boundary violations arising from enactments continue to be a feature of the psychotherapy profession. The author addresses the nature of boundaries, enactments and the…
I Write to Right Something
An abridged version of this article was presented as the acceptance speech for the 2019 Eric Berne Memorial Award at the 50th Anniversary Conference sponsored by the Southeast Institute, the USA Transactional Analysis Association, and the International Transactional Analysis Association in Raleigh, North Carolina, on 3 August 2019. The speech highlights the development of a relational trend within transactional analysis and delineates the author’…
The Management of Erotic/Sexual Countertransference Reactions
The author considers the nature of erotic processes through the lens of transference/countertransference-focused psychotherapy, with particular emphasis on accounting for both old and cocreated, new self-other configurations. He also examines the defensive and transformational potential of the erotic within therapy. The need to develop and maintain a therapeutic frame and boundaries is examined, and the difficulty that erotic/sexual processes and…
The New Emerges Out of the Old
This article considers how new ways in which a client and therapist relate emerge out of old ways the client related to others, with the subsequent transformation of maladaptive schemas and ego state relational units (Little, 2006) into more adaptive schemas. The author explores the nature of the client’s pathology and maladaptive relational schemas and the therapeutic action that might be transformative for the client. He also examines a modern …
The Inevitability of Unconscious Engagements and the Desire to Avoid Them
In this commentary the author discusses and develops some points from Stuthridge's (2012) presentation about trauma, dissociation, enactments, and therapeutic action. The enduring impact of trauma and its relationship to the absence of an attuned other to ameliorate the experience is described. The nature of enactments is considered and a distinction is made between enactments and projective identification. The author also describes how clients a…
Impasse Clarification within the Transference-Countertransference Matrix
This article describes a relational approach to deconfusion of Child-Parent ego state relational units, with particular emphasis on the client's experience of the impasse between him or her and the therapist in terms of the repeated relationship and the needed relationship. The repeated relationship represents the repetitive dimension of the transference, while the needed relationship represents the self-object and developmental arrest facet of t…
Understanding the Psychodynamics of Suicidal Clients
The author discusses some aspects of suicidal and presuicidal states, in particular the psychodynamics of suicide and suicide attempts. The focus is on the internal dynamics of the suicidal client and the nature of the therapeutic relationship. The author draws on the work of Donald Campbell and Glen Gabbard and on the film The Bridge(Steel, 2006) as well as on his own clinical/ supervisory experience and formulations while acknowledging that wha…
Ego State Relational Units and Resistance to Change
In this article the author attempts to make sense of what seems to be a difficulty some clients have in letting go of self-defeating behaviors and old ways of relating, that is, why some clients resist the process of therapy. The author explores how the ego state model explains this resistance and how a model of ego state relational units helps the therapist to understand and work more effectively with this process
Treatment Considerations When Working with Pathological Narcissism
The author presents his understanding and experience of working with clients who exhibit pathological narcissism. Some of the challenges that arise in the treatment process are considered from a psychodynamic perspective, particularly how destructive elements manifest themselves and impact the therapeutic relationship. After a brief overview of various theories, the etiology of narcissism, transference issues, and narcissistic vulnerabilities, th…
Integrating Psychoanalytic Understandings in the Deconfusion of Primitive Child Ego States
The author describes his particular approach to deconfusion of primitive Child ego states. The theory presented consists of an integration of psychoanalysis and transactional analysis. Therapeutic principles are described from a relational perspective
Schizoid Processes
This article examines the defenses of the withdrawn Child ego state as described by both transactional analysis and British object relations theory. The process of withdrawal is considered, and the principles of therapy from a relational perspective are explored
Withdrawal, Connection, and Therapeutic Touch
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…
The Shame Loop
Various authors have written recently about shame (Clark, 1995; Erskine, 1994; Kaufman, 1989; McClendon & Kadis, 1994), usually with a focus on individual work. This article explores the psychology of shame and shame affect as it is felt and expressed in couple relationships. The author also examines defenses against shame and introduces the notion of a “shame loop” to describe the energy flow in a couple relationship. The underlying script decis…
