Integrating transactional analysis and family systems concepts enhances the assessment and treatment of couples. TA constructs that imply the systemic processes of complementarity and circular causality are examined. Ways in which relationship and script contracts and the dynamics of symbiotic passivity add to an understanding of couples are made explicit. The ways in which the constructs of double binds, knots, and dilemmas further our knowledge of couples are explored and illustrated
