This paper offers a response to the presentations of Farhad Dalal (2016) and Andrew Samuels (2016) at the 2015 International Transactional Analysis Conference in Sydney and published in this issue of the Transactional Analysis Journal. After introducing Dalal and Samuels as other in the transactional analysis community, the paper reflects on the core of their contributions: the “we” makes the “I” and/or the “I” makes the “we,” both of which represent a political position. Two notions are taken from their presentations: The first is about the political position of transactional analysis, which seems to be overadapting to market demands; the second is about the validity of transactional analysis concepts. These notions are linked with each other through reflections on the neoliberal context in which transactional analysis seeks to survive and the fundamental transformation or metanoia (Jung, 1970, p. 719) that is needed within transactional analysis to research the validity of transactional analysis concepts
