“…I work within this tension and area of conflict first by prioritizing the welfare of my client, to the best of my ability to define that. I will not do something requested by another party if I think it will harm my client, which is consistent with Grégoire’s (1998) priority of protection. At the same time, I keep in mind that my client operates within a larger system, whether of family, university, or the greater community.…”

The author reflects on nearly 25 years of working as a mental health counselor. While acknowledging the need to work within limits, he argues against arbitrary external constraints on a scope of practice that involves talking, listening, and lifelong learning. The practice of counseling should be determined instead by the needs of clients who present for help with developmental difficulties that can be facilitated through human exchange and meaning making.

“…It is interesting to note that Cornell, De Graaf, Newton & Thunnissen (2016), in the book they have edited, include a Section 2 entitled Practice within which they refer to psychotherapy, counselling and coaching, management and organisational development, and learning and personal developmentpresumably these are meant to be how they view the psychotherapy, counselling, organisational and educational fields respectively. Grégoire (1998) suggested we regard the boundaries between the fields as 'envelopes of coherence' so that we can avoid defining fields by contrasting them with each other. He uses another metaphor to explain this metaphorthe boundary of a tennis court is defined by the rules of tennis and not just by the physical existence; tennis and volleyball courts share a large common surface but are different in other respects; and the rules of tennis and volleyball are different so that you cannot play both of them at the same time.…”

Prompted by preparation of a presentation at a TA learning event, Part 1 of this paper provides a largely TA-based literature review of references to psychological boundaries, related to a proposed new framework for categorising such boundaries at the person (intrapersonal, personal), people (interpersonal, family, neighbourhood), place (region, country, area, continent) and planet (environment, Earth, Universe). TA concepts seen as relevant for each boundary are described. Comments on practitioner boundaries lead into Part 2, which addresses psychological bridges across boundaries such as created through supervision and frameworks for increasing awareness of unconscious processes. A critique of the current TA field of application boundaries is included and Part 2 concludes with a model that represents a general bridge to contact.Citation - APA format:Hay, J. (2018).

“…In the transactional analysis literature, several authors have recognized the difficulty of defining the boundaries between counseling and psychotherapy in terms of efficacy, ethics, and institutional aspects (Grégoire, 1998). Other authors (Fassbind-Kech, 2011; Tudor, 1997) underscore how a linear and rigid boundary between fields can be too constricting.…”

This article describes the characteristics of transactional analysis counseling groups and identifies specific aspects that differentiate them from transactional analysis therapy groups. The author offers a definition of transactional analysis counseling and then focuses on the group setting and the group leader's role. These reflections are based on experiences in which transactional analysis was used as a methodology for group counseling. A group experience with adolescents is provided as an example.
