The authors offer a retrospective look at the initial phase in the development of ecological transactional analysis (eco-TA). Following from the original papers in which they offered tentative definitions and principles, they here consider and engage with a range of critical observations, challenges, and opportunities to further evolve the idea of an ecological perspective on transactional analysis theory and practice. Specific themes are addressed, including the relationship between eco-TA and climate change activism, accounting for diversity and inclusion in ecological work, the issue of leadership and authority in eco-TA, the complexity of language in articulating beyond the human perspective, and the distinction between indoor and outdoor practices. Finally, the authors offer a new concept—the ecological mind—which is designed to support the evolution of eco-TA, and invite readers to reflect on practice and professional identity
