You Can Always Do TA

The author, through telling how he came to transactional analysis, shares a puzzle about how, and under what circumstances, decisions come together to shape stories about human destiny and personal biographies. His story proposes that the most important events in our lives are decided within and by transactions larger than the individual, that in psychotherapy, as in everyday living, the shaping of experience is itself narrative. He reports on a meeting with his former psychotherapist that depicts a way the stories of psychotherapy turn psychotherapy into a narrative. The narrative of psychotherapy enfolds in itself stories that may become the context for an indefinite number of stories
